Yes America did provide (sell) loads of hardware but their troops were badly trained and their leaders refused point blank to learn the lessons learnt the hard way by the British in the war with Germany. an example being that the USAF insisted on restarting day raids, ignoring the RAF advice to fly by night resulting in huge losses.

Not entirely accurate. The American leadership refused to blindly bomb civilians in the middle of the night. Maybe they would have felt differently had the endured the nightly German bombings of London.
As for badly trained? Simply put. Screw you. And your Dog. My Dad flew 34 missions, my best friends Dad is an ace. Stick that back up your ass where it belongs.
