Another excellent, though fictional, account of Corsairs in the RN Pacific fleet carriers can be found in "Aircraft Carrier" by John Winton, the renowned naval author. Every one of his books are eminently readable, full of humour and incident, delivered with great style. "HMS Leviathan" continues the carrier theme, this time into the 50s.

Sad that he didn't write more books. The Artful Bodger was a terrific character in his first four books.
