I know we sometimes get hung up on carrier aircraft but there are shore based naval aircraft to consider such as the PBY. It wasn’t just a lend-lease aircraft. It was ordered directly by a number of allied nations.

The French and Dutch were also buying US land based aircraft. Not to mention the fact that the US was buying French aircraft during WW1.

There are lots of examples of smaller countries that lacked the manufacturing ability buying aircraft abroad.
