History and Use of the F-80C Shooting Star

The Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star was the first operational jet fighter used by the United States Air Force. It was developed during World War II, although its first operational flights took place at the end of the war, and it was widely used during the Korean War (1950-1953). The United States made intensive use of these aircrafts in the early stages of the Korean conflict, deploying them for both interceptor and escort missions.
