Did Hellcats and Corsairs meet FW-190s in combat in the invasion of Southern
France, in 1944?

Checking John Winton's "Find, Fix and Strike," it appears that there was little
German reaction, and the only combat was between a few Do-217s and Ju-88s and
some Seafires and Hellcats. There dont appear to have been any Corsairs
involved, just Seafies, Martlets, and one squadron of Hellcats (800 Sq. on HMS
Emperor). Corsairs and Hellcats participated in the series of attacks on the
Tirpitz in 1944, but air combat seems to have been limited.
