It would be more a question of "When did they get napalm to drop?" then "When did they get Corsairs?"

I suspect they bought left-over US stuff then eventually made their own once they realized how useful it was in jungles.
Actually, they more or less got in theater leftovers from Korea. OMFG it has a prop. Give it to the French in exchange for wine!
Ha ha ha ha.
The Indochina War is an intriguing study and struggle. Anyone thinking the French do not know war, should study it a bit.
