right lets get something straight now!!!!!!!!!! :mad:read the book the encyclopedia of military jets and to quote page 214 the title actualy says americas first fighter jet yes i said aircraft i put the wrong thing and to make a point the p80 was at squadren strengh as it says by the end of the war (euro) two were in italy and two more were at britain and 16were flying 
Incorrect sorry, AAC sent 4 YP-80A's to Europe, in April 45 Sent two YP-80s to Great Britain and 2 more to Italy, the purpose was combat testing and build the sagging morale of bomber crews that faced the Me-262s, Both aircraft sent to GB suffered problems, one was totally destroyed, second refitted with a Rolls-royce Jet engine. The two sent to Italy performed a few combat missions before the war ended.
Two planes isn't a squadron sorry.
