This is the story of a man (a soldier) who didn't complete his high school education but rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel through determination and hard work. He developed a two-way radio which enabled soldiers to converse with each other from miles apart. That was only one of the many inventions he worked on during his twenty years in the military. After retiring from the Army, Jim Allen joined Westinghouse Electric in Baltimore and continued to invent other "gadgets" - as he called them. He retired from Westinghouse after sixteen and a half years and is now living in Ellicott City, Maryland with his wife of nearly fifty years. Out of his many inventions Jim has chosen thirteen of his favorites - with photographs, drawings, and descriptions - for this book.
