To be fair, we Americans liked air power to do most of the heavy lifting in basically all jobs in WWII.

Reminds me of a WW2 joke.

If you can't tell the identity of an infantry squad, fire a few rounds over their heads.

If they respond by a loud URRAAAAAHHHH and rapidly approaching submachinegun fire, they're Soviet.

If they respond with rapid, accurate rifle fire, they're British.

If they respond with immediate machinegun chatter, they're German.

If there's no response, and then five minutes later your position is obliterated by air strikes and artillery fire, they were American.

And that reminded me of an old Aussie WWI joke. “The English will fight to the last Australian”
