Yes, I am. Although the concept of a jet engine was known about for a long time it was only prototyped and finalized for the war effort. Since the Germans knew they were going to war first, they had a head start and finished first.
Everyone else launched reactionary programs. The goal of America's program was to kill fascists, but they didn't finish before the war's end. Afterwards they pivoted to communists.
And what of the folks who developed the concept of a jet engine?
