It also will demonstrate that this aid fundamentally weakened the British military position in the Middle East and Far East. A close study of the numbers, types and timing of shipments of aircraft and armour to various theatres will show for the first time in quantifiable form how the British allocated their material and, by implication, what else they could have done. It will tally costs and benefits, and assess how good British decisions were from the perspective of their own interests, and those of the Allied cause. Finally, it will show that from late 1941 to 1942, Britain gave more than it got from Lend-Lease.viii, 111 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
