President Roosevelt reported to Congress that the British Commonwealth contributed about 1.774 billion dollars in reverse lend-lease aid to the United States through the war. Britain provided most funds from the British Isles totaling 871 million, with 372 million in facilities for US air and land forces. Australia 196 million, New Zealand 51 million, India 36.9 million. Canada did not receive lend-lease aid, paying cash instead. The total highlights pooled resources for weapons and equipment to support allied defense.
