Yankee Ingenuity in the War (Classic Reprint)
Author: Frank Parker Stockbridge
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780483202894
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
Excerpt from Yankee Ingenuity in the War IN presenting this report Of some of the more striking and inspiring examples Of the technical achievements Of America that went SO far toward the Winning of the Great War, the author wishes, first, to point out that the omission of any mention Of the great scientific and engineering feats Of the Entente Allies, except incidentally, is due not to any desire to disparage the magnificent work Of those European masters Of pure and applied science whose ser vice in the cause of humanity was surely no less fruitful and even more arduous than that Of their American confreres. But the Whole scope and plan Of this book, by its nature, excludes from present consideration all but distinctly American enterprise in this field. Even within this comparatively narrow range, there is no pretext that the Whole field has been covered, or that What has been covered might not have been dealt with more in detail and with greater scientific precision. Event ually that will be done; beyond a doubt the complete history Of science in the war, yet to be written, will reveal a thousand wonders much more marvelous than any that have yet been set down. This volume, however, has not been written for the scientist or the technologist, but for the average American, neither skilled nor interested in technical details, but susceptible, the author believes, to the thrill Of patriotic pride that comes from the recital of the story Of a winning fight against heavy Odds.
