They had 12 months to beat the Nazis-or lose the war in the skies.

In 1941, a secret team at General Electric was tasked with building America's first jet engine before Germany's technology could tip the balance of World War II. Under extreme secrecy and crushing deadlines, Warren K. Taylor and the "Jet Pioneers" risked careers, reputations, and lives to make the impossible real.

Blending high-stakes history with intimate personal drama, They Built Something That Changed Everything reveals the untold story of America's leap into the jet age-where innovation, sacrifice, and courage decided the future. Perfect for fans of Erik Larson and David McCullough.
