Me either, but procurement and delivery altogether seems way too slow.

You’re completely wrong about that. It only took 143 days for our engineers to have a flying prototype of the first jet. (P-80 Shooting Star)

It only took 143 days for our engineers to have a flying prototype of the first jet. (P-80 Shooting Star) Time for you to hit the books. It took 143 days to produce the airframe which was mated to an existing British engine. Bell's P-59 first flew on 1 October 1942. The P-80 first flew on 8 January 1944, over 15 months later.
