Re: FAA Role in the Pacific.?

For most part of the war, RAF ETO pilots had a total of 600+ hrs before entering the combat. It is a little bit more than 450 hrs.
Concerning Seafire, it was mostly used in Europe, because US types were considered no match for Messerschmitts and Focke Wulfs. Therefore the number of credited victories seems not an argument when discussing quality of aircraft.
