Dave, I fear you have made a few mistakes. Joe Foss (and I met him when was Governor of SD) shot down 26 aircraft. Richard Bong, in a P 38 shot down 40. To give the devil his due, Tetsyzo Iwamoto shot down between 80 and 202 aircraft, making him the highest scoring Ace of the Pacific. Also the P40 was no joke, Gen. Clair Chennault and the Flying Tigers (ie American Volunteer Group, AVG China)used the P40 with great success against the Zero. The P40 was a old design, but an excellent and stable weapons platform in ground attack roles, the British used it in North Africa and the Russians on the eastern front. They would have been hurting without it. Except for the M4 tank I don't think any American equipment was substandard, what ? M1 Garand, B17, B24, B29, the fighters you mentioned, GMC trucks, the 100 + aircraft carriers we built, cryptography, proximity fusses, our field guns were better than the 88s, our subs, our supply chain was inexhaustable. Save the M4 what was substandard ?

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
