James d’Angina, Vought F4U Corsair shows that the wartime F4U-4 (4-blade Corsair) squadrons operated entirely from Kadena, Okinawa, in MAG-14 (VMF-212, 222, 223). No 4-blade Corsairs operated from USN aircraft carriers before V-J Day.

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.
