I think the best US builds look something like the following (barring some disaster somewhere)
Winter 39:Â Â Â 2 Factories, a fighter, 1 infantry, 6 pts LL
Spring 40:Â Â Â 2 Factories, a fighter, 1 infantry, 6 pts LL
Summer 40:Â Â 2 Factories, a fighter, 1 infantry, 6 pts LL
Fall 40:Â Â Â Â Â Â Finish 2 Factories, a fighter, 1 infantry, 6 pts. LL
Winter 40:Â Â Â 3 Factories, a fighter, 6 pts LL
Spring 41:Â Â Â 3 Factories, a fighter, 6 pts LL
Summer 41:Â Â 3 Factories, 10 pts LL
Fall 41:Â Â Â Â Â Finish 3 Factories, 10 pts LL
Winter 41: (at war)Â 4 fighters, 2 infantry, transport, 4 pts LL
Most of the Lend Lease goes to Britain and all of the builds go to the Pacific.
In this way a constant flow of lend lease goes to England and it increases about the same time the Uboat war increases - making up for u-boat losses and keeping British production constant in the mid to upper 30's throughout 40 and 41.
Additionally, The US can do something in the Pacific quickly, bringing all of their fighters to bear there in the Winter, they would have 6 total fighters - enough to fight Japanese carrier planes. They would also have enough infantry to garrsion important islands making the Japanese expansion much more difficult.
Once at war, US 1942 builds look something like this:
25 pts: LL to UK and Russia
32 pts: 8 fighters (4 out each turn)
18Pts: 6 infantry
15Pts: 3 transports
12 Pts: 4 destroyers
8 Pts: 2 Subs (one each turn)
Remaining points go to tanks, artillery, bombers and carriers as needed.

I think the d6 version works just fine for the game. Don't make it more complicated if you don't have to.
