520    "Engineers of Victory" is a new account of how the tide 
       was turned against the Nazis by the Allies in the Second 
       World War, the focus being on the problem-solvers: Major-
       General Perry Hobart, who invented the "funny tanks" which
       flattened the curve on the D-Day beaches; Flight 
       Lieutenant Ronnie Harker "the man who put the Merlin in 
       the Mustang"; and Captain "Johnny" Walker, the convoy 
       captain who worked out how to sink U-boats with a 
       "creeping barrage".
