Just wondering: in the computer game Battlefield 1943, the F4U Corsair has the serial number “23”.
Did any real USMC or USN F4U have this serial number?

That number is not the aircraft serial #, but a squadron/ship number denoting which aircraft it is…
Note in the pic below, there is the aircraft # (on nose or fuselage), a ship code (the letters on the vertical stabilizer), the squadron designation (below the word “Navy”. and the actual serial # (the numbers just above the retracted tailwheel and aft of the squadron designation).
Another, duplicating WW2 wartime markings of a specific aircraft:
2 USMC Corsairs (note the number just visible above the wingtip on the further one)
So in answer… there were probably a number with “23” on them.
