A ready response might have changed the course of history, but Whittle got no reply.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this gripping and insightful biography, Duncan Campbell-Smith charts Whittle's success at building a pre-war jet engine against all the odds – and tracks his desperate struggle to have it launched into active service against Hitler's Luftwaffe.
