No I don’t recall where I learned that. Just a factoid I picked up reading or watching Youtube.
I remember the subject was the f6f in particular. Early in the war, the Navy had special landing vessels with equipment to maintain and repair aircraft, but by the end of the war, production was so high that fighters that needed an overhaul were dumped as I said.
I’m pretty sure this was a video, but I can’t find the particular one. So I guess consider this a rumor or unreliable info.
You got a source on that? I’d like to read some background info.
Yeah I’m not getting any results from a websearch on that
