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. And Saint
Brendan went back to Ireland without getting his passport stamped.
They were attempts that didn't quite make it, for one reason or
another, and serve only to gratify patriotic passions and conspiracy
theorists.

all the best -- Dan Ford (email: info AT danford.net)
