War - Ww2 - The British War Trunk Of September 1940 Poem by Paul Warren

To win the war with Britain standing alone in a dilemma
Churchill decided to give the USA the plans for their fighting future
Consisting of the latest scientific advances for American industry
So that that they would get the drop on the Japanese and Nazis
In September 1940 they loaded the plans to it all into a trunk
And it was transported to the Americans through the Atlantic funk

The latest on Radar, the atomic bomb, self sealing petrol tanks and super chargers
Including jet engines, submarine detection and gyroscopic gun sighters
But the best gift of all was the magnetron number 12 mobile radar
Which meant radar could be put on ships and planes as mobile detectors
This meant when the Americans came in the war and for lend lease
They were ahead producing the latest technology leading the way to peace.
