What recommends the B-25 for the role?
Sorry for that - for some reason I read 'light' bomber instead of 'night'. But my point would be to still use USA for bombers and concentrate on fighters in my country. Practical use of resources. If I can get the USA to build bombers and fly them to UK then there isn't a major need to have many convoys bringing that much more material.
