The P-80 never fought in WWII, however if it had, the first jet-versus-jet combats would have occurred during that time.

As a point of interest, North American Aviation (Dallas) was tooling up to manufacture 1000 P-80A-NT. Contract was cancelled upon V-J Day. No aircraft were ever produced on this contract.
