Ooh, go me!

So, from a corner of my mind, a few more questions about people who did surprising things;

1. Who escaped from a POW camp and won a Nobel prize, but is far better known for something else?

2. What famous sportsman was offered the post of King of Albania (but declined)?

3. Who was given the nickname, "merchant of death" early in his career?

4. Who co-invented frequency hopping to help prevent torpedoes from being jammed during the Second World War, and led to the invention of spread-spectrum communications like Wi-Fi?
