Nope...never lost track. All I posted was relevant to rebutting your
position that there were no carriers and hence no Hellcats.

If you want to state:

that their aircraft were not used OVER THE BEACHHEAD during the
invasion.

(BOLD inserted by me) then I can agree with you.


Well, since that IS what I said, it appears you DID lose track.




No, the following is what you said:

I think you've lost track of the subject. The issue is not where the carriers were on D-Day, but whether the Hellcat was used during the Normandy invsasion.
If you accept sources that indicate the carriers
were nowhere near Normandy you have to accept that
their aircraft were not used during the invasion.

and

MS Emperor is not listed among the participating ships of Operation
NEPTUNE in any capacity. No aircraft carriers are listed. There
wouldn't seem to be a need for them with thousands of land-based aircraft
available.

Show me where you stated over the beachhead prior
to this and I will concede. Adding that phrase
makes the statement correct, leaving it out makes
the statement incorrect. I do not see where you
made that distinction until I made it for you.
