When you say 'service dates' do you mean the date that the very first unit was accepted for delivery/commission by the military in question? Or the date it was placed into active service? Lil' confused here.

F4U-1 was in action by March/April of 1943 in the PTO, not 1944. F4U-1A was in use by late-1943

Active service.

For example, the first Spit XIV squad went active on Jan 3rd, 1944. First kill was March, 1944. Offensive sweeps in May, 1944.
