There are a lot of Hungarian “fathers” in the world of scientific invention–I’m always hearing about them. In one of my as-yet-unpublished manuscripts there’s this bit:
…….

Hungarians can prove that Magyars invented anything of importance in the last two hundred years. Csilla has the list committed to memory:

“Ede Teller, the hydrogen bomb; Leo Szilárd, the atomic bomb; János Neumann, binary code and game theory, and the atomic bomb; Tódor von Kármán made supersonic flight possible and designed the first interstellar rocket; John Kemény was the Father of Microcomputing; Peter Carl Goldmark invented the color television and the video recorder; Tivadar Puskás, the telephone switchboard—”

“Okay, okay,” I told her, because I’d heard this before and knew she could go on all night. “I believe you. But where were these Hungarians when they invented these things?”

She knitted her brows.

“All of them, I’ll wager, had emigrated. Either to England or America.”

She didn’t like that one bit. “God, you’re so vain.”

Had a quick scout around using “Faludy György második világháború légierő” (‘… second world war airforce’), and some very sketchy details about involved with the air force come up:

‘Between 1940-1 he escaped to Morocco ahead of the Germans, later living in the USA. For three years (between 1943 and 1945) he also served in the American Army. Between 1941-1945 he was the secretary for the Free Hungary Movement.’(source NYUGATI HÍRLEVÉL, number 58, 2003. Oct-Nov)

‘he joined the US forces, through which he became involved in (or had links with) the airforce on the anti-Japanese front, on the islands of the Pacific Ocean.’ (source
Faludy György kilencven esztendeje, (‘George Faludy’s 90th year’) by Pomogáts Béla)

So, far found nothing more definite than that.

You may also be interested to know that his uncle Szilárd Leó worked on the Manhattan Project alongside fellow Hungarians Teller Ede (‘father of the hydrogen bomb’) and Neumann János (aka ‘John von Neumann’).
