The WW2 Carrier Aircraft category covers any aircraft flown off an aircraft carrier, from any of the combatant nations, during World War Two.
This would also cover those aircraft designed to be flown off carriers but not actually used. Specifically the Me109T which was designed for Germany’s never completed aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin.
Now WW2 Carrier Aircraft can be split into two distinct category’s…
For example the Spitfire and Seafire are land to sea conversions. As was the German Me109T, which is the naval-ised version of the Me109E-7.
The reverse holds true as well.
For example, the Vought Corsair was a purpose built carrier aircraft. However, the American Navy considered not suitable for carrier deck landings and flew it from land bases instead. This was only until the Fleet Air Arm proved them wrong, by immediately using their lend lease Corsairs on their fleet and escort carriers!
