Shall we dare mention only 4/5ths of Fighter Command were British during the BoB.

Or....one of your fighter squadrons was commanded by an American.

Or...there is a special cemetery for Americans killed wearing Crab Blue.

Or...we were escorting convoys well prior to December 7th.....and had destroyers sunk by U-Boats while doing it.

The other question is why we have used and are still using all those carrier things and the Brits are not?

Ya'll get hung up on the Yanks being over paid, over sexed, and over here and ignore the truth which is the Brits were under paid, under sexed, and under Eisenhower.
