The story of Frank Whittle, RAF pilot, mathematician of genius, inventor of the jet engine and British hero.

Listened this today. Around an hour long. Good recap of the invention and development of the jet engine. I would have been interesting had the British backed Whittle from the start both during WWII and post-war.
There was also a mention that Heinkel is issues with Germany late in the war. I don't know much detail on that one.
