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. KB |
