Do you honestly think that we got all of the ships and supplies together to
send that quickly when Roosevelt signed the Lend Lease Act in 1940?? He knew
that we were going to war and had to be very careful as the anti-war forces
were preaching pacifism very heavily. He knew there was no way we could
avoid it and was preparing very quietly. I suggest you might dig a little
deeper into the history of the period.
I agree that this has gone on entirely too long and is far far off
topic....so I am out of the thread as of now.

The Nazis didn't even begin their bombing campaign against England until
the Fall of 1940, so there was nothing to "ramp up" or send to England in
1938 or 1939.
