But you might want to re-evaluate the British contribution in the Asia-Pacific: in '41-'42 all the ABDA allies were handed their collective elbows on a plate, not just the Brits. As the war progressed, the RAF (and IAF) did more than defend in the CBI theatre (RAF SEAC B24 wings were operating there, plus Mossies, Spitfres, Hurricanes and Thunderbolts), there were RAF Spitfire squadrons in Oz and the Fleet Air Arm got into the act with Seafires, Corsairs, Barracudas, Avengers and Fireflies.
