When a fighter "takes a dive" it means he intentionally loses the fight, the "dive" being a fall.The term "dive" when referring to aircraft...and not specifically to "dive bombers", means to crash. Example(s): "...he took a dive...", "he dove in", "...he dived in...", "...he went in...", etc."Takes a dive" does seem to have a different meaning then simply "dive". When a planes dives, it just noses over and goes straight down or at least at a steep angle.

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.
The numbers and letters on a P-38 or on any USAAF fighter were the BuNuumber, usually a 5 digit number, and sometimes squadron ID letters.

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.
