12 Seconds of Silence by Jamie Holmes

     About the invention and production of the Proximity Fuse for artillery shells that saved London from the V-1. Though the war was being won after D-Day, the V-1 (for vengeance) was a horrible weapon. Hundreds were launched on London. The American-sourced fuses dramatically improved the success of anti-aircraft efforts, saving thousands of lives. Interesting though highly technical, well-written, copious notes.
