"Potential contribution"

US values are included in Allied totals for all years in order to illustrate potential contribution & Lend-Lease

It seems odd to have the US contribution, over 50% of the allied total, for the period 1938 to March 1941 (when the Lend Lease program started) included only "to illustrate potential contribution", especially when other countries are treated differently. I'd really like to see what the curve of the graph would look like if it only included actual contribution. And why are the notes in text different from the notes in the chart image, when the total figures are identical? Michael Z. 2007-08-12 16:01 Z

American Aircraft Carrier Production

I am confused as to how a number greater than 100 was extrapolated in terms of US aircraft carrier production.

Rubber

Could anyone add the vital production of rubber to the overview? There are several decent papers on it. I only know the Raj and Far East of the British Empire was the largest producer alongside the Netherlands. I feel it deserves to be listed.--Simen113 (talk) 12:16, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese fighter aircraft

Omits the Nakajima Ki.43 (Oscar), second most-produced fighter with 5,900+ built. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8800:2180:1A9:394A:CBF0:442F:777E (talk) 21:00, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Particularly, in the Pacific theatre, the British Empire had no successful strategic offensive operations of note until the entrance of the United States.

This line, end of the second paragraph of the Historical Context section is completely meaningless. Anyone would assume The Entrance of the United States means the US entry into WW2, but the US and the British Empire declared war on Japan at the same time. ie: there was no Pacific theatre until the entrance of the united states.
