January 17, 1942 - Engineers weep in Washington as Japan seizes 90% of the world's rubber supply, leaving America just 6 months before total collapse. William Jeffers is given an impossible task: synthesize rubber from oil in one year. Rockefeller's Standard Oil provides the breakthrough technology. Through relentless failures and determination, engineers create GR-S synthetic rubber by late 1942. By 1944, America produces more synthetic rubber than all prewar imports combined. Japan thought they'd won by capturing the plantations - but American ingenuity turned oil into rubber and despair into victory.
