The British Meteor was tops overall for WWII

The top jet fighter, that was never in air-to-air combat? Shucks,
maybe the Bell Airacuda was the best piston-engine fighter of the war.

The Meteor, like the P-80, came too late for the banquet. And George
Cayley didn't trust his glider enough to go up in it.

Something the NASA boffins who designed the space shuttle also agreed
with - send someone else....
