[blood_scout67]

i dont know much about thease planes but i do know this
1) the kikka is basicily a japnese version of the 262 less armor but slightly faster
2) the p80 was the first usa aircraft which was jet propled it had 6 50cal mgs and looked amazing

1) the kikka had kills
2)the p80 was at squad strengh and was in both pasfic and europa

1) the kikka had good firepower any other info would be good and it would be helpful as i would love to have this plane
2)p80 i would love to have this a it technicly wasnt in world war2 but it the precersur to the jet age

     Hmmm....Lockheed must have invented time travel to get the P-80 before the Bell P-59



     Wonder how the Kikka got kills as it wasn't even test flown till 11 Aug 1945?

Neither were squadron strength or in combat, P-80 was to "late" to see action, and Kikka didn't see action at all.

Not today, but Wikipedia is a good source to learn basic information, however feel free to always ask questions - and never rely on wikipedia for
resourceful information (Just because it's there, doesn't mean its always right).

The Kikka never had any kills, only about 2 test flights, and there were only 2 prototypes when the war ended.

P-80 was in the PTO?!?

No, a squadron was formed in the US in july of 45, however none went overseas, the squadron wasn't ready for operational readiness, and the war ended before it was even near being shipped, most likely it wouldn't of been stationed in Okinawa even in wartime conditions (assuming downfall went through, because the closest airbase would of been Okinawa, and the P-80s lack of ranger would of been a factor.

However it would of been deployed, most likely Philippines, then shipped elsewhere.

Did not think they were any sent in the PTO. However, was there few in Italy at the end ETO? Something along the line of test flight hours before Germany surrenders?

[MAINER]

I thought the P-80 did not come around until after the war

[Rino]

     Lots of P-80s in Korea in 1950

I would have to research the information, but from what I read so far none were in operational status.
