Write that book, or series of books, and let the rest of the world know. OK?

I am not English, though I speak it. And yes, there were significant developments by the French and by other Europeans working in their own countries or, for example, France. My research shows that going to France was sometimes more sensible because some facilities already existed there. So why spend money trying to duplicate them in your home country? The Swiss contribution to engine development is little known. I could go on.

So, if you want to post here, fine - within the rules of course. Otherwise, share your knowledge, I urge you.
