All I can find from British service is 800 Squadron F6Fs shot down 2 ME-109Gs and a FW-190A during the Tirpitz raid of 8 May, 44. Then a HE-115 on 14 May. Those are the only British F6F kills recorded in the ETO. The Germans say they lost 3 ME-109G.
F4Us had flown missions on the Tirpitz prior but met no opposition from the air.
FAA Wildcats also claimed 4 ME 109s off the coast of Norway 26 March 44.
I've go the books Wildcat Aces of WW2. And Corsair Aces of WW2. I'll dig them up and see if I can find anything else.
I do know that US F4Fs shot down a few aircraft during Torch. I'll see what I can find.
