With the recent introduction of Germany's new jet fighter, the Messerschmitt Me 262, the USAAF is looking to push forward the production of the Lockheed P-80 'Shooting Star', the first US jet fighter. In the meantime, they want to reevaluate the potential of the P-80s project competitor, the Bell P-59A 'Airacomet' . We've been loaned one of the newest production models for testing at Oahu. We'll take this aircraft up to test speed, altitude, and maneuvers...then a short gunnery test at the weapons range. At best, it may be introduced as a trainer, as the production number has already been reduced, but the data we collect may help perfect the P-80 in future models.
