Hello again
while brushing my teeth I remembered again that I has one comment on US made carrier fighters. The FAA Hellcats had at least one brush with LW fighters. IIRC in early May 44 some Hellcats were escorting some Barracudas when they were jumped by Bf 109s and FW 190s, end results were 2 Hellcats loss but Hellcat jockeys got 3 confirmed. Now, I haven't check the real LW losses but at least some Hellcats operated within the range of LW fighters, and IIRC FAA Hellcats also flew some missions in Med, even during the Dragoon.
OK that's all
Juha
