Re: FAA Role in the Pacific.?
I haven't had time to read this entire thread yet.
After reading the book "The Seafire, The Spitfire that went to Sea" by David Brown, certainly makes the Seafire seem un-impressive. Taken from the book, " it will come as a surprise that Seafires were delivered to the Royal Navy in greater number -over 2000- than any other aircraft in the Service's aviation history. in nearly three years of action and over 50 operations from the Arctic Circle to Tokyo Bay, the Seafire engaged enemy aircraft in fewer than 50 combats, in which it destroyed 37 and damaged another 26 fighters, bombers and reconnaissance aircraft."
