Yep! My grandfather’s squadron was supposed to transition to the F7F when he was at Cherry Point but the week they were supposed to get their first flights the Marines said they needed another Corsair squadron in theater, so he went to war in the bent wing bird. I asked him if he regretted not getting to fly it and he said he loved the Corsair but he figured they would’ve seen more air to air action with the Tigercat since it was a new night fighter. He and his squadron did CAS and got to help with early uses of napalm.
