Geoffrey Nathaniel Joseph Pyke (9 November 1893 – 21 February 1948)[1] was an English journalist, educationalist, and inventor.
Pyke came to public attention when he escaped from internment in Germany during World War I. He had travelled to Germany under a false passport, and was soon arrested and interned.[2]
During the Second World War, Pyke proposed the newly invented material, pykrete, for the construction of the ship Habakkuk.[3]
