The F-80 fighter remains most common among USAF jets in testing.

Bevin Warns On UN Fate And Berlin Crisis
Bevin warned that the atomic age demands global cooperation but warned the United Nations could fail if East West tensions persist. He urged regional steps if a world basis proves impossible, while the Allied airlift to Berlin continued its 100th day amid Western resolve. Britain backed the Bernadotte Palestine plan as a path to bridging Arab and Jewish claims, and Belgrade reports described Albania's terror crackdown on pro Yugoslav sympathizers amid Tito’s rift with the Cominform. The note closes with a historical aside on the Wolverine, America’s first iron warship.
