Piston-era air groups for Midway and Malta

What late-piston air group might large Midway- or Malta-type carriers have operated?

Midway might pair Bearcats with Skyraiders, while a British group would more plausibly use mostly longer-ranged Corsairs plus a smaller Tigercat night-fighter element than rely entirely on short-legged Bearcats.

This counterfactual considers peak piston-engine air groups for American Midway-class and projected British Malta-class carriers. Midway might operate Bearcats and Skyraiders, while the British case raises twin-engine Sea Hornets or Tigercats. The F8F Bearcat's short range makes an all-Bearcat group unlikely. A more plausible British mix would use mostly dual-role, longer-ranged Corsairs with a smaller Tigercat contingent for night operations. Mission endurance and specialist roles could outweigh simple fighter performance.
