I think the underlying point you are trying to make is that the ratio of drag to lift was sharply reduced when monoplanes were introduced. I suspect we can agree on that.

I do find it interesting that the Italian plane designs seem to have got stuck in the early 1930s, British designs got stuck in about 1942, German designs continued to get better, but they couldn't deliver them, while early US designs were BAD but late war ones excellent.

Each country peaked at different times.

A wild generalisation, but interesting.
