12 seconds of silence : how a team of inventors, tinkerers, and spies took down a Nazi superweapon / Jamie Holmes. by Holmes, Jamie, author. Boston : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2020.

ISBN:  9781328460127 (hardcover) : 1328460126 (hardcover) : Description:  xiv, 402 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color) ; 24 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  12 Seconds of Silence is the remarkable, lost story of how a ragtag group of American scientists overcame one of the toughest problems of World War II: shooting things out of the sky. Working in a secretive organization known as Section T, a team of physicists, engineers, and everyday Joes and Janes took on a devilish challenge. To help the Allies knock airplanes out of the air, they created one of the world’s first “smart weapons.” Against overwhelming odds and in a race against time, mustering every scrap of resource, ingenuity, and insight, the scientists of Section T would eventually save countless lives, rescue the city of London from the onslaught of a Nazi superweapon, and help bring about the Axis defeat. A holy grail sought after by Allied and Axis powers alike, their unlikely innovation ranks with the atomic bomb as one of the most revolutionary technologies of the Second World War.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 623.4542 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 623.4542 Holmes Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 623.4542 Ho Checked In Add Copy to MyList
