The Allies won WW II because the US developed the most potent weapon still known to man and the most technologically advanced delivery system, for its time . They out managed and produced the axis at every phase necessary to prosecute a war.

If it would have been necessary the US would have designed far superior engineered equipment. However, as it was they only needed a fighter designed in 1943 and a bomber designed pre war to devistate Germany from the air.

The Mustang first flew in 1940. It needed a British engine to be successful. The USAAF wasn't interested in the a/c till the USN took notice of it.

The good old P51 Mustang. Of all the fighter aircraft (other than the Spit/Tempest/Mossie and Fury) to be commissioned, named and powered by the British, the Mustang was probably the best

More and more I wish the rest of the world would "sigh" it's self right to hell. Your self righteous posts really wear thin. Give China a call if you need help of any nature in the future. I'm sure they are chomping at the bit to help. I'd rather my tax dollars stay home for a while.

Allies have destroyed 176 enemy divisions. Red Army - 607 enemy divisions.
You can not ignore the following fact. After the Allied landing largest and the best part of the fascist forces remained in the East.

It seems to me that the land war was mainly in the east and the air war was in the west.
