This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Did the Japanese ever get a chance to fly and evaluate an F4U during the war?

No.
The Japanese did acquire a couple of airframes from crashes or ditching, but I do not believe there is any evidence that they ever had a flyer.

That would've been awesome for them if they could've reverse engineered an F4U. Same with the Germans. THe FX-190A has the same airfoil as the Wildcat and Hellcat. Imagine if the Germans had captured a few Corsairs.

So what's an FX-190A????
Focke-Wulf would not have had access to any Hellcats when the 190 was created and it was designed before Wildcats entered the fray.
