Navigation. The Global Positioning System (GPS) provides location and time information for anywhere on the Earth via a series of satellites in geostationary orbits.

Tank crewman, infantrymen, sailors, artillerymen, etc. can be trained in 8 to 16 weeks. It takes years to train top notch military pilots. The Battle of Midway took away the "cream of the crop" of their combat pilots and air crewmen (fighter pilots, dive bomber pilots and rear gunners, torpedo bomber pilots and gunners and torpedomen). Japan should have trained more pilots than it did. But apparently, Japan did not think that they would lose so many pilots during the war. From Midway afterwards, for the most part, inexperienced (naval) pilots would be fighting against the US and it's allies.
