As I recall the P-80 never saw combat, at least in WW II. I remember it chiefly for killing Richard Bong, the USAAF leading ace.

As the F-80 it saw action in Korea. But the only jet that saw action in WWII was the Me 262.

Edit: Also apparently the Gloster Meteor (thanks arethuza!)

The Gloster Meteor saw action with the RAF, shooting down a decent number of V1s:
