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.

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!
I was responding to American use. You are right about the British.
