When I get REALLY bored, I sometimes click the random article link on Wikipedia. Usually that just makes it worse, but today I found an interesting entry about a WWII fighter plane. The Hurricane was instrumental in the victory known as the Battle Of Britain. If Britain had lost, I think the World would be a very different place today.
Britain and America are presently allies, as the were through most of WWII. The two countries experienced that War to End All Wars in a much different way. With the notable exception of Pearl Harbor, there were no major attacks on American soil during WWII. Britain endured a lot of death from above and the seas were pretty menacing as well.
