It's funny how in the film, they are first seen flying Hellcats and fighting Japanese Hellcats. After they get Corsairs in the second half, they are still shooting done Japanese Hellcats and you have a bunch of wrecks on the field.
They blow up and burn a nice PBY too! :cry:

Just for a second I thought this post was not about an aircraft.
