I do know of American involvement in this period. The father of a
friend, a U.S. naval officer, served in the R.A.F. He was sent over
by his superiors to fly fighters and bombers on combat missions and
to find out first hand about tactics and weapons and so on... a spy
essentially, but a spy known to both governments. He had to pretend
to be Canadian.
Not exactly an "ace in the hole," but a sign that both governments
were establishing a basis for co-operation earlier than is generally
recognized.
Interesting.
