Over Germany in 1944, it was all about protecting or shooting down bombers. The U.S. was intent on removing Germany's ability to build more aircraft and destroy it's ability to resupply its troops and machines. Germany found that to be a huge threat and threw fighter aircraft into the air to bring down hundreds upon hundreds of bombers. Not until the P-51 Mustang came along with its long range drop tanks did the bombers finally receive help in staving off attacks from the German fighter planes.
Today, fighter aircraft are the fastest, most efficient way to deliver bombs and weapons to countries that need them. Being fast, they get in and back out of the danger zone quickly and only put one or two soldiers (pilots) at risk. However, being high-tech, they are very expensive to acquire, operate, and for training. With its precision weaponry, one fighter aircraft today can do as much damage as it took battleships or battalions of men to accomplish in years past. Operating them from forward air bases or from aircraft carriers mean fighter aircraft can be called up and on station anywhere in the world within a few hours.
