Don't forget the ladies or the civilians! For example I believe Hedi Lamarr was the actress who was also an engineer and developed the frequency hopping system used to prevent radio jamming of remote controlled torpedoes. This technolgy went on to become widely used in military communications and is alive and well today along with its offspring, spread spectrum technology. (This technology also provides my employment at present.)
