This aircraft was a high altitude interceptor though it's flight performance was exceptional and an order for 100 hundred aircraft were placed, though the war required longe-range escort aircraft not high-altitude interceptors not only that but the jet era was just begining and more promise was shown in jet-powered interceptors so it was never used
