Just a small note on helium being used - as they mentioned it was in short supply and I understand the U.S. had just about all of it and stopped sellng it to the axis (Germany) powers. There wasn't much of it and itwas about used up on the two or three dirigibles American machines we managed to come up with and promply crashed. Without plastic they needed some kind of airtight tank liners and I heard they they used the stomach of cows sewn together. I think Besy Ross did the sewing. The cows got pissed off and burned Chicago, and that's no bull...not much.
Submarine - First Military use yes that was a US first but invented it? By 1747 at least 12 patents had been issued in England for submersible craft all based on a 1680 idea by Giovanni Borelli, before that there is the 1620 example of Cornelis Drebble - The first practical sub would have to wait for Electric power to be available and the first operable sub was the Holland type by Irishman John Holland
Saying that is like saying Leonardo DaVinci invented the helicopter because he had the idea first and drew a sketch of an aircraft powered by a rotating propeller mechanism. It doesn't matter if someone had the idea first it matters if someone meaningfully created a usable physical manifestation of that idea .
@@jacobkudrowich Sadly history disagrees with you and says "It was not until the early 1480s, when Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci created a design for a machine that could be described as an "aerial screw", that any recorded advancement was made towards vertical flight." Which kind of puts a crimp on your argument .......
What have you invented? Are you using an automobile? Are you using the internet? Have you flown in an airplane? Did your forefathers develop democracy? Did any of them fight to defeat the Japanese and Nazis to give you the life you have today? Did any of them work for ATT? How many space shuttles did they help launch? What have you done to foster life and wellness in this world? Have they, or you, developed the vaccine for COVID-19?

Outstanding!
One of The best books
Thanks for the upload.
Opposing debate can ve made on the inventing of aircraft .submarines and machine guns
Love this that's for uploading this book.
If the narration were better this would be amazing. Is it a real person speaking?
It was uploaded nine years ago, before AI voices became common. Also his voice gets a little crackly from use. So yes, a real person.
Cool cool need more like it
I have listened to this book for 3 years to sleep better then heroin

Big Bertha
Walking fire
The Goodyear blimp
A bracketing shot
Numbers stations
A break in firing
Practical
Blue shield
Paris gun
Carrier pigeon
Shoots flat
Dazzle
Fire hose
Bomb freight
This is horrible they are proud of inventing killing machines.
Needed to be done at the time. Would you rather fight your enemy with a stick or machine gun.

You are asshole and jerk . What about protection.
Just about all the modern comforts and gadgets you enjoy today are spun offs of the various weapons weve created over the years one way or another
A gat
Like China
Filters
Triangulation
Pesticide
