Islandlad,

It wouldn't have made an 'atoms difference' to the operational outcome of GW1 if ANY other force other than the US had turned up seeing as the massive mismatch in numbers and resources, and that includes the RN. The coalition was a political alliance and that was the importance. The US could have handled each and every single coalition military endeavour since 1945 entirely on their own if they wished, they chose not to, for political and cohesion reasons.

Your stab at the RAF does you no service whatsoever.

As to your questions, go to Google and find out for yourself, you may be a little surprised by THE FACTS as opposed to your obvious agenda.
