This chapter describes how British supply diplomacy devolved into a series of transatlantic personal missions concerning the implementation of American aid to Britain. These began as Lend-Lease, evolved at the end of 1940, and then became law in March 1941 after a series of Congressional hearings and extensive public debate. The period was marked by continuing British appeals for immediate aid in the short term, and the conclusion of a long-term aircraft allocation agreement as an integral part of the first Anglo-American strategic discussions.
