The story of the fighter aircraft from its inception during WWI when aviators flying open cockpit Sopwiths, Bristols, Nieuports, Fokkers and Albatros's vied over the Western Front. The period between the wars saw biplane fighters superceded by sleek monoplanes such as the Spitfires and Messerschmits of the late '30s. WWII led to the advent of the jet which came into its own with missile armed types such as the Lightning, Phantom and Mirage of the 1970s.

The concept of ground attack aircraft came into its own in WWI when pilots dropped bombs by hand on enemy trenches. Torpedo bombers were also born at this time and went on to score notable successes during WWII. Ground attack types such as the German Stuka and British Typhoon were decisive in many WWII battles and later, in Korea and Vietnam, Thunderjets, Sabres and Phantoms brought obliteration from the sky to enemy ground forces.
