the Allies were all interdependent (if it's not a word, I'm making it one! )

Without the yanks, the Brits would have got their asses beat.

But without the... uhhh... well ok, so the U.S was pretty independent 8)

AFAIK the best plane didn't need any Brit help to get it flying well, they just beat the Yanks to using it on carriers operationally

 

[cheddar cheese]

When did a Lanc fly under Sydney Harbour Bridge, M8?

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i'm not sure when, but i know it holds the record for being the biggest aircraft to do so

It flew under the Sydney Harbour bridge for a war bonds promotion. The pilot (and I'd assume the rest of the crew) were pathfinders in Europe before returning to Australia with their plane Q for Queenie. It flew around Australia on a war bonds tour and as a promotion it flew under the bridge. The pilot was Isaacson or something similar. All I can find about it are a couple short paragraphs.
