Also the Divine Wind was a hurricane that came in the 1200's that saved Japan from invasion from an enemy force by wiping out their fleet....they were hoping that the Kamikazis would do the same thing for them. Ironically a huge Hurricane came through south of Japan in November 1945 that would have easily disrupted if not distroyed the planned invasion of Japan by the Americans
Is it the V2 rocket???

American Volunteer Group was the official title of the Flying Tigers, and I believe they were supported by the US government
The RAF squadrons, numbers 71, 121 & 133, were completely volunteer, and unofficial as far the US government were concerened, although the majority of them were absorbed into the 8th Air Force in '42

Yes they were "wink" approved by FDR and who paid them I'm not sure but there were not funds in the US to do so..
I remember my Uncle saying when he enlisted right after Pearl Harbor and went to Boot they practiced rifle movements with broom handles because we did not have enough rifles to go around.. Until they went off to war.. They had enough to man the rifle range.. but close order drills they used broom handle and fake rifles..
Things were very unprepared to fight..
