It was production bottlenecks that kept the F4U from widespread carrier use until late 1944.

Multi part question here concerning F4U s upon carrier decks
1. When was the 3 bladed propellor F4U introduced to carrier decks during the war?
2. Who flew the aircraft ? USN aviators or Marine aviators and if Marine aviators were there “Marines” insignia upon their aircraft as we see after war?
3. When was the 4 bladed propellor F4U introduced upon WW2 carrier decks?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
