“The RAF were losing men and machine at an alarming rate over the channel and France, resources and moral were at an all time low. Britain desperately needed allies if it was to hold off an invasion. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour in 1941. America joined the war and Britain found its closest ally.”
