#69: R.J. Mitchell—Recognizing Evil and Engineering a Masterpiece to Defeat It

In the mid-1930s, Nazi Germany was drawing curious—and sometimes admiring—glances from parts of the Western world. The new regime was cracking down on the cultural decadence that had taken root during Germany’s Weimar years. British tourists poured in—hundreds of thousands each year—many leaving with admiration for the “new” Germany. Among these were influential British figures like writer Wyndham Lewis and Daily Mail owner Lord Rothermere, who praised the stand the Nazis were taking against hedonism and decay. But one British visitor was not taken in by the hypocritical puritanism of the Nazis, or any other aspect of the newly-empowered party. After aircraft designer R.J. Mitchell traveled to Germany in 1934, he returned home not with admiration, but with deep alarm. Behind the façade of moral reform, he saw a nation arming itself at breakneck speed—and a threat that could soon strike Britain. Determined to prepare his country for the storm ahead, Mitchell spent his final years pouring his genius into the creation of a masterpiece of weaponry. Order your free copy of Winston S.
