I agree. Kelly Johnson did everything from the P-38 Lightning to the SR-71, and IIRC, even had something of a consulting role in the F-117. You don’t stay cutting edge for half a century without being an absolute genius.

Kelly was an engineer’s engineer in the purest sense along with Burt Rutan. I would add ,from the ancient category, Hero of Alexandria.
