Hi fellas,
My grandpa was a Marine pilot in WWII and flew a Corsair. I was looking up some info on Google and came across this thread and thought I'd chime in. I'm NO EXPERT, but I thought I'd pass along some info at least...
Here's a neat site that has a little info about his squadron:

(My grandpa is in the 1st guy in the top row of the 2nd pic)
This guy made a movie about the squadron:

Not sure if this helps answer your original question, but I thought it was interesting at least! ;-)
