内容介绍：

汤姆-斯威夫特，那个多产的青年发明家，正从事着试图帮助盟军赢得第一次世界大战的胜利。在阅读了报纸上关于英国坦克的报道后，汤姆拿着一张纸，开始从头开始设计一款更好的坦克。而幸运的是，他可以把整个家族企业都投入到他的创业中去。

他有两个问题。首先，他的朋友和熟人都在质疑他的爱国主义 因为他没有作为步枪手上前线。连他的女朋友都担心他的血不是真蓝。但那是因为他正在秘密研制他的坦克 他们不知道他正专心致志地用美国人的方式赢得战争，用机器。

Tom Swift, that prolific youthful inventor, is engaged in trying to help the Allies win WWI. After reading newspaper accounts of the British tanks, Tom takes a sheet of paper and sets out to design a better one from scratch. And fortunately, he can throw the whole family business behind his venture.

He has two problems: First, his friends and acquaintances are questioning his patriotism because he hasn’t enlisted as a rifleman for the front lines. Even his girl is worried his blood isn’t true-blue. But that’s because he is developing his tank in secret, and they don’t know he’s concentrating on winning the war the American way, with machines.
