| did they ever use the corsair in the European theatre? |

| I'd say that you did a good job of nailing the early color.
Brian: I believe that the British Fleet Air Arm used the Corsair in the ETO and MTO but not certain about the USN using them there. |

| Thanks again. Ray, thanks for commenting on the color. I did a whole lot of mixing before it came to this. Could have used DD's expertise. Brian, from my research the US didn't. It was land based for the Marines in the South Pacific and of course carrier based for the USN. Search F4U-1 and you'll find pictures of British and French use.It was apparently a handful to fly. |
