    They also saw action in Europe. British Corsairs operating from HMS Formidable.

    Escorting for instance bombers that attacked Tirpiz in Norway.

    One was captured by the Luftwaffe.

  • A long time ago.

  • Was the Corair ever deployed in the European theater or was it strictly in the Pacific?

  • nice vid

  • I forgot to mention he was also awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

  • Incase you did not know at about 1:53 that is Kenneth A. Walsh's aircraft number 13. He is one of the highest scoring Marine Corp Aces in World War II. He scored 21 confirmed kills

  • @ripdaddyinthehouse He also said at the end of that book (If I am not mistaken) "Show me a hero, and I will show you a liar!", or something to that effect. Maybe he was telling on himself :-) Still a great book though!
