All right, I'll give up a few answers here, because you guys are really close...

The Japanese used all kinds of things for petroleum substitutes, as noted by El Paso Trooper, including pine resin oil. However, their airplanes frequently ran on Shark Liver oil as a lubricant, because of its properties.

I messed up my reading skills, and must give an apology to EPT... he guessed 20 as the number of German tanks in combat in WWI, and that was correct. Mea Culpa, my friend, I was a victim of stinkin' thinkin'. You got it right.

And, lastly, EPT is right again, the US Coast Guard protected Greenland from Axis incursions during WWII, putting them well above the Arctic Circle, even above their Alaska routes. Good job!


Today's question:

What did allied forces at Jan Mayen use as an early warning system for air raids?
