P-262 thunderkitty!
The Curtiss P-262 Thunderkitty was produced by integrating stolen, then retrofitted German jet technology into the existing airframe of the P-40 KittyHawk. Substansial hardening of the airframe was required to produce the P-262, and while a 3 engine version was built and flown only as a prototype, the 2 engine version saw over 250 produced, and were assigned to squadron duty in the Pacific theatre starting in February of 1945.
Suprisingly, the P-40 airframe adapted quite well to the jet technology, and was later used as a test plane during testing for the F-86 Sabre
which was based almost completely upon its design.
