WW2 Carrier Aircraft, this 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 designed for Germany’s never completed aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin. Now WW2 Carrier Aircraft can be split into two distinct category’s those purpose built for carrier operations and those converted from land based planes. For example the Spitfire and Seafire, also the Me109T the navalised version of the Me109E-7. The reverse holds true as well, for example the Vought Corsair was a purpose built carrier aircraft that the American Navy considered not suitable for carrier deck landings and flew it from land bases. Till the Fleet Air Arm proved them wrong by immediately using their lend lease Corsairs off of their fleet and escort carriers!
