Sorry Sherman, I disagree. There were P-80s in Europe as I stated earlier - the problem is I cannot remember my source - so I guess you win - I can't prove it.

I wasn't trying to win anything, I was onlyattempting to make sure the facts were straight ,so to speak.  My sources for my arguements re: the P/F-80 were from my memory, Janes: Fighting Aircfraft of WWII & The complete book of Fighters. According to these sources the aircraft was not accepted until  February 1945 which would not have given the USAAF enough time to deploy it to Europe before the end of hostilities.  By the way the first ME262's were

delivered to the Luftwaffe in June 1944 and flew their first interceptor missions in that month. 

By the way I have succeeded in playing the game ,as an American, to it's conclusion.  It ends with the reconquest of Europe and the surrender of Germany in June 1946.

I still have trouble with the game stuttering and freezing up on occasions.  According to the Tech. Asst. at microsoft  the problem is caused by my game card that overheats due to the high graphic displays, etc.  He must be right  because I can turn off the computer for aprx. three hours and it will perform flawlessly for aprx. an hour. 

I just had a thought .  The USAAF Museum at Wright Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio should be able to put our P/F-80 arguements to rest for all time.

Well, you capitulated too soon.  I just checked with the USAAF Museum @ WPAFB
re: the P-80.  According to the museum several P-80's were sent to Europe for demonstration purposes but the war ended before they could be used in combat operations.

When everything else fails check with the "hoses's mouth!"
