Whatever happened to the Brits? Some of the good British aircraft engineers came to the US after the war.

Doesn't the B-52 have the longest service history? As a type, it appears to edge out the C-130 by about a year.

The Lockheed P-80. I believe it was the first production Jet. It came on line just before WWII ended.Though I do not think it saw combat.
