Default Corsairs with JATO?

Was JATO used operationally by Corsairs operating off of carriers in WWII?

I just saw a film clip, purportedly from the invasion of Iwo Jima, of a
Corsair taking off from a carrier deck with JATO assistance. I have never
seen or heard of Corsairs using JATO before, and am wondering if JATO was
*really* used on operational Corsairs, or if the History Channel simply
spliced a neat looking clip into their Iwo Jima footage?

Thanks in advance.
