Were World War 2 fighter planes smaller than modern fighter planes?
You mean were WWII fighters smaller than today's jets; because "modern fighter planes" are jets. Generally yes, today's JETS are much larger than WWII propeller driven airplanes. But there were exceptions, the US WWII P47 Thunderbolt would be much larger than a MiG 17 Vietnam era jet. The largest US single engine JET was the F105 Thunderchief; you could literally walk underneath an F105 jet, while it's parked on the ground.
When were jet engines invented?
In the 1940s the Nazi German aviation engineers developed the first working Jet engines and planes. There were a few that flew in combat. Many of the jets they produced sat and were never used because the war ended. The US, Brits and Russians grabbed the technology and the planes. They also were able to get the engineers too. However, the jet engine was patented by a British engineer long before the Germans developed the jet engine. See related question below. Edit; Sir Frank Whittle was the first to realise that the power of an engine was primarily based on how much oxygen it could ingest. This led him to invent the jet engine and the Germans, having read of his design pre-war, lost no time turning it to their advantage.
