Re: FAA Role in the Pacific.?
Just to add to what Joe has written, please note that FAA pilots flew Corsairs from carriers much earlier than their US colleagues did. Apparently someone forget to tell them it is not suitable to do so.
The real question is, however, what was the basis of your's vet opinion. Where did he met British sailors, who they were, had he served in combat with them, etc. Various factors mixed with high elan and espirit de corpse could have contributed to such and no different opinion.
PS The bible has quite interesting comments on Seafire IIRC.
