D is for Daedalus

Emigrated to the British Isles from Sicily, Daedalus is a genius inventor and tinkerer that's been a boon to the British war effort, inventing everything from radar to proximity fuses to cryptography-cracking machines. Oddly, though, he refuses to consider working on RAF aircraft. The Spitfire is really all R. J. Mitchell's, and while the British are doing quite well with their jet engine program, they probably won't catch the Germans without Daedalus' help.
