And don't leave out the fact that the RN was the first to successfully employ the F4U Corsair fighter inr sustained carrier operations, largely through the development of a curved landing approach, which allowed the pilot to keep the flight deck in sight longer before touch dowm The same landing approach was later adopted by the USN, who had initially given up on the Corsair for carriers as being too difficult foor rookie pilots to land. The new approach, along with a number of structural mods, allowed the Corsair to stay inUSN carrier service through the Korean war.
BTW, I'm afraid the Canadians may be a little bit angry when they discover that it was the the RN who attacked "Toronto" back in 1940, OTH, the citizens of Taranto, Italy, will be very relieved. javascript
