Bostonianamo's right. Sir Frank Whittle put the first Patent on, but a German scientist (Hans von Ohain) built the first one and beat him to the post (but only just). The Luftwaffe had the very first Jet aircraft followed very closely by the British.

The earliest recorded attempt at a turbine type engine dates all the way back to the first century! And the first patent of a turbine engine dates to 1791. The first successful flight of a modern type turbojet powered aircraft (the He 178) dates to August 27, 1939 and was based on a design by Hans von Ohain.
