4. Lockheed T-33 T-Bird – U.S.A.
The Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star made several improvements to the US Air Forces. The new planes didn’t have propellers and flew differently than previous ones. The propeller-driven trainers failed miserably in their preparation for the P-8-s. Finally, the P-80’s fuselage was enlarged to allow for a second tandem seat. The Allison J33-A-35 turbojet for the T-33 Shooting Star was developed in this manner. It was the United States Air Forces’ first jet fighter training aircraft!
