The UK could make all it wanted.


It could not make all it wanted during WWII.



Britain was pretty much self sufficient with regard to
infantry weapons and artillery but relied heavily on
US supplied tanks , trucks and armoured cars.

The air force relied totally on US production for its
transport aircraft , a large percentage of its long range
maritime patrol aircraft and the RN was reliant on US
produced fighters on its carrier force
