The Corsair was used in Europe during WWII, but only by the British Air Arm, which was their Naval Service. While the US was trying to overcome aircraft carrier landing issues, the British figured out how to safely land on a carrier by dipping on wing to slide into position before leveling off just before touch down.

Note that the British rated the Corsair, Hellcat and the Wildcat superior to all of their countries' Naval aircraft during WWII. They were particularly impressed with the Hellcat due to its ease of handling, ruggedness and long range.
