Bell P-59 Airabolide

What if the actual timeline of Bell P-59 Airacomet was never happen..

Instead, in 1944 Bell along with USAAF begin a program to convert some P-39 Airacobra at USAAF service (and P-63 Kingcobra aswell) into the jet-engined fighter aircraft using evaluational results data shared from Gloster Meteor for some further modification development of the GE J31 jet engine..

So, along with P-51 Mustang and any other USAAF aircraft, this aircraft now also able to keep up with some faster enemy aircraft, especially even Me 262, at least resulting a better performance than the actual then-RL P-59 Airacomet...
