Re: FAA total
By the way I only have 42 at most for Corsairs, not 52; with the Victorious squadrons (1834,1836) accounting for most of them (24). Although I have three unattributed other than to "Corsairs" and some unattributed Hellcat claims also.
The Hellcats had the advantage of scoring several victories in ETO. 1844,1839 added around 40 in BPF (several shared with Corsairs and Seafires), and 8 were credited to the Escort Carriers in the Indian Ocean.
