1868 Sir Ernest Dunlop Swinton British tank inventor. He originated the word tank to describe the armoured vehicle
I'm not saying Tank doesn't describe it but I wonder where he got that from?
1917 John Birks (Dizzie) Gillespie Trumpet player, bandleader and composer (Night in Tunisia) He and Charlie Parker pioneered be-bop
Night in Tunisia is one of the all-time great jazz pieces. If you haven't heard it you should find it.
