The P-59 was the first jet fighter that the US had. It was not a big success and was swiftly overtaken by more capable types. However, such was the progress in those days, aircraft had a short operational life. I have seen a couple of them that I am sure of. One was at Planes of Fame at Chino and the other is on a pole at Edwards. Here are the shots that I know I have of the type. The question is, do I have more that I haven’t keyworded?
