Nope not the case... during the war the government influenced everything with money, money, money. Winning the war was priority one. The DOD threw money at anything to aid in the war effort.
The world was at war, Britain, Australia, Russia, etc they all needed equipment as well.
The government even paid for Howard Hughes Spruce Goose, start to finish.
I double doubt those American aircraft companies could do anything with an American based game developer. The lawyers would love those lawsuits.
