I believe the US was by far the largest “lender” to Britain and the Commonwealth.

Reverse Lend Lease consisted mainly of “rents” not paid by the US for use of British bases.

I like Britain and like the relationship to stay special. ;-]

1—Financially, yes.

2—Not true. Most of reverse lend lease was arms and supplies, from socks to heavy arms.
