And at the height of battle of Britain, we gave them 50 destroyers. The RN crews were astounded to find them busting at the seams with warm clothes, blankets, coffee, and foods they had scarcely seen since the war began.
It was an American unofficially flying the PBY that found the Bismarck. US crews flew the planes to England and then “unofficially” become copilots, “training” the Brit crews. An American got the DFC for that mission.
No, America did not leave Britain to struggle on their own. That’s a slander.
Comparing our involvement to the British at the time is wrong. And clearly, it wasn’t going very well for the British with their cities being bombed and their civilians being killed. It was a desperate time for the Brits.
To equate our losses to the British prior to us entering the war is unfair.
