| Not trying to start a huge debate, just curious as to how the two were recieved by the pilots and crews. For example, the Brits were happy to recieve the M3 Stuart and M3 Grants, and later M4 Sherman during North Africa.

Shawn, I think happy would be a gross understatement. the Grants and Shermans were vital. Let us not forget all the other equipment that was sent from the US. My neighbour spent most of the war driving around in Chevy's.
His words, They were bloody marvelous, with their big balloon tyres they went like
across the desert. They were a lot better than our stuff. I got really p....d off welding transmission boxes back onto our wagons every day, never had a problem with Yank stuff.
