The Shooting Star was the first American aircraft to exceed 500 mph in level flight, and the first U.S. Air Force jet used in combat. Designed in 1943, the XP-80 made its maiden flight on Jan. 8, 1944. The aircraft was redesignated F-80 in 1948 when "P" for "Pursuit" was changed to "F" for "Fighter." Although designed as a high-altitude interceptor, the F-80C was flown as a day fighter, fighter-bomber and photo reconnaissance aircraft during the Korean War. On Nov. 8, 1950, an F-80C flown by 1st Lt. Russell J. Brown shot down a Russian-built MiG-15 in the world's first all-jet fighter air battle.
