The Bren was a .303 adaptation of a czech weapon.

Why ? (and BTW it needed a British engine to be really good)

COMMENT: yeah it needed A British engine but the US also had about 4 other fighters just about as good. Further imagine if the P-39 hadn't had the turbo-charger removed after the proto-type model.

The Manhattan project was full of non US birth scientists, had Italy and Germany kept theirs they would probably have gotten the bomb first.

COMMENT: Maybe not remember all the resources the US had to put into the Manhatten Project especially the 6.6 billion 1940 type dollars.

I do agree on the B29 though
One could also probably add several things that the US managed to move from proto-type use to mass production/assembly line type production.
