Brits gave us: Radar, Sonar, Code-breaking insights, the Merlin Engine, the Whittle Jet Engine and far more.

The US contributed: The Manhattan project, massive license production (Packard-Merlin), gobs of shipping, the 8th Air Force (Daylight Bombing), etc and so forth.

The Brits also had what we attribute to ourselves as “Yankee” ingenuity. Prominent examples are the Sherman Firefly: a Sherman tank fitted with the Tiger-busting British 17-pounder anti-tank gun, as well as the P-5 Mustang variants fitted with high-altitude Rolls-Royce Merlin engines.

“Code-breaking insights”

Actually, it was the Polish that gave the Brits the insights.
