Did the F4U shoot down anything in Europe?

[Gunfreak]

I know it was part of the air fleet arm. And it acted as fighter cover for one or more of the attack on the Tripitz. But apparently it wasn't engaged in those operations.

 

But did it actually see any hot action in Europe? Are there any examples of it against the various German planes?

According to this link, they never saw a Luftwaffe fighter:

It did not see enemy fighters but it participated in the same operations as hellcats in northern Europe (Operation Mascot, Operation Goodwood) where hellcats got engaged but not corsairs.
They did not participate in Italy or provence unlike hellcats.

I thought the English had some for use on carriers during the war. I don't know how late it was but I remember them talking about the difficulties they had landing due to the long, large nose. They had to a circling turn right to touchdown if I remember correctly.

Except escort and photographing the attack Corsairs did strafe flak batteries and dive bombed the Tirpitz. The faster Corsairs could attack ahead of the Barracudas before the German smoke screen was fully deployed and obscuring the target. They were also possible involved in some attacks against coastal shipping. All in all the FAA launched some 12 attacks against the Tirpitz or close targets between April and late August 1944, divided into 8 fleet sorties.
