Nahum,
That doesn't work: America stayed out of WWII as long as it could -- just sat back selling arms to the Allies and raking in the money.
Those Focke-Wulfs flying for the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain were manufactured by an subsidiary of the American company ITT in Germany -- and when the company was later bombed, after Pearl Harbor had forced the US into the war, the American taxpayer paid $27,000,000 for that oh-so-sad damage.
Maybe you'd like to think Germany was America's unsinkable aircraft carrier during the Battle of Britain? No, it wasn't, but it would make more sense than your idea.
The name "Air Strip One" for England, the idea Claire Knight has sensibly stolen and adapted to the Pacific here, was written by George Orwell in his famous and important novel "1984," published in 1949 -- well on into the Cold War, a completely different proposition from WWII.
Sorry 'bout 'dat -- but you could have Googled it up yourself and avoided showing your ignorance in public, couldn't you?
