Re: FAA Corsair Squadrons. claims
...Barlow and Dick share the victory on 4 May 1945? Reducing 1834 squadrons tally to 12 1/2.
Overall I believe that 1834/1836 (Victorious) and 1839/1844 (Indomitable) claim around 60 victories in the BPF 1944-45...1830/1833 (Illustrious) add another fifteen or so and 1841/1842(Formidable) make three, and that the Hellcats claim slightly more but refute the claims for supremacy in this theatre given by many sources.
Just a thought
