What does it mean by a fighter takes a dive?

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.

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.
