=**CORRECT!!! ANDREW JACKSON HIGGINS**=

Andrew Jackson Higgins built LCPVs, which enabled the Allies to land on the sandy beaches of Europe and in the Pacific. General Eisenhower said Higgins was the man who won us the war. He is quoted as saying Andrew Higgins ... is the man who won the war for us. ... If Higgins had not designed and built those LCVPs, we never could have landed over an open beach. The whole strategy of the war would have been different." Even Hitler recognized his heroic war efforts in ship production and bitterly called him the "New Noah."
