    I know that the British used Reverse Lend-Lease to supply the U.S.Military with weapons and equipment,everything from Spitfires and patrol boats to knitted socks and teakettles. Does anyone know how much in 1943 dollars this came to,and how it was settled after the war?

    these give some details;

    Lend-Lease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    reverse lend-lease (United States history) -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia

    and this in particular;

    Franklin D. Roosevelt: Report to Congress on Reverse Lend-Lease.


    Hope it helps :)
