Not unless the Luftwaffe had given some a/c to the Japanese! AIUI, the main USN participation in the European air theatre was (relatively limited) maritime patrol using, IIRC, Privateers based in SW England. AIUI, again, their principal usage of Corsairs was in the Pacific, as was the FAA's. Maybe a few USN carriers operated in the Mediterranean, though?
