[QUOTE="donner, post: 4253597, member: 277"] There is a good book called 12 [U]Seconds Of Silence: How a Team of Inventors, Tinkerers, and Spies Took Down a Nazi Superweapon[/U] for anyone interested. It talks about a lot of the scientific advances that WWII forced, but focuses mostly on the advent (from overwhelming need) of the proximity fuse and all the challenges associated with it's creation. It also talks about how it's creation for the navy quickly gave way to its use in the army, and perhaps it's most impressive application was against german rockets near the end of the war. [/QUOTE]
