What it is Filled
A military aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air combat against other aircraft, developed from the biplane fighters of the First World War through biplane fighters such as the Fiat CR.42 and monoplane fighters such as Messerschmitt designs of the Second World War, to jet fighters of the Cold War such as the Phantom and modern multirole and stealth fighters; fighter aircraft are described here at the level of aviation history, classification, museums and policy without operational or technical performance detail.
Why it exists Filled
