Possible Japanese contributions include the Ki-43 Hayabusa and long-range flying boats, but moving trained pilots offers a faster way to reinforce Britain. Aircrew could use aircraft and support already available in Britain instead of waiting for Japanese aircraft and their logistical system to arrive. Some Japanese aviators could therefore take part in the Battle of Britain. Service alongside American volunteers would also bring Japanese and American pilots into contact before their countries became wartime enemies in the historical timeline.
