The Fleet Air Arm and Corsair deck landings

Did the Fleet Air Arm show the U.S. Navy how to land the F4U Corsair on a carrier?

Yes, its approach method helped demonstrate safe deck operation, though the U.S. Marine Corps was pursuing similar improvements.

The Fleet Air Arm demonstrated a curved approach that made the F4U Corsair workable on a carrier deck. The method improved the pilot's view around the fighter's long nose during the final turn. The U.S. Marine Corps was moving in a similar direction independently. The U.S. Navy was happier to acknowledge the Royal Navy's solution than a rival American service's parallel work. The episode combines an operational lesson in deck landing with an example of interservice rivalry shaping how innovations receive credit.
