CAG
I voted for the Me262. This seems too easy.  The F80 did not see any combat in WWII with just a few sent to England near the close of the war. The other planes listed I have no idea of their speed or if they were ever built or flew.
Good question.
Regards,
pappy

| I picked the HS 132 because it was to be a last chance fighter. |

Are all the planes on the list considered to be "of World War II"? If not then what are the criteria to be WWII compliant lol

Gotta be the Komet, mostly cause I'm not familiar with the other Nazi jets.

The Komet was fast for sure, but the same I think that the Horten was even faster, perhaps only for a little... so I voted for it.

You forgot Meteor fighter, how could you forget the famous British meteor jet fighter that were used during 1944 to 1945?!
It have been a while, so what have everyone been up to? I have been learning java programming and is auxious about developing a pc game of my own after few yrs of programming studies from my computer science studies in unversity.

You also forgot Russia MiG-9, and US's first jet known as comet, forgot what exact name it was where it was developed before P-80.

The only US jet to be built for combat in WWII was the P-80.
Also the British Comet was the slowest jet to see service, thus I didnt list it...
Russian MiG-9 was designed after the war ended, from captured German data using captured German turbo jets...
| Quote: | | The MiG-9 was developed from the I-300 (also called the izdeliye F {model F or product F} by OKB) prototype which first flew on April 24 1946 by test pilot Alexei N. Grinchik. The I-300 became Russia's first pure jet fighter only by one hour, beating the Yakovlev Yak-15 by mere minutes. |
And to let you know, the way the polls display on the main page, that I am limited to 6 total selections...

Yes Kap you are correct it never flew...
Only made it the final assembly production phase when it was captured by Patton's Third Army.
However...
I never did actually say which of these was the fastest jet fighter that flew...

bogus, if it didn't fly it had zero airspeed.
