Fighter jets were designed to shoot down enemy aircraft. Because the enemy had fighter jets of their own to protect their aircraft, it was important to make them as fast and maneouverable as possible. It should be noted that the aircraft is only as good as its pilot.

What did a fighter plane mean in World War 2?

A fighter plane in world war 2 is much like what a modern fighter plane is today. These planes are aircraft designed with the intention of shooting down other planes. Planes like the American P-51 Mustang, German ME-109 and Japanese Zero were designed to be as fast and maneuverable as possible while having offensive weapons like machine guns and armor to protect the pilot. They would fly missions to take control of the sky by shooting down the enemies planes.
