What if the H-4 Hercules plane, the same kind that the Spruce Goose was not an abandoned project, but further adapted and entered World War II?
the specification was drawn up as a result of the events of the war, so you can't get it before the U-boat effort really kicks in. I suppose you could conceivably get a specification something like it in 1939, but before Lend Lease you wouldn't get American companies bidding. What you'd probably end up with would be an enlarged, six-engined version of the Short S.26If you can change the gov't spec so that it flies ten years earlier in 1937, then you've got something.
