Abstract
We live in an age where flying at the speed of sound in jet-powered aircraft's is a very ordinary thing. It's a rush, an experience but still very common. But we must not forget how we got here or the machines and people that laid the foundations for today's fighter aircraft's. One of the things that interest me the most about world war II are the machines that served in the war. In fact may of the machines used today were borne out of this war and some saw their most significant advancements made during the war. It was quite a dilemma to choose a few from so many aircraft's that served with distinction but a choice had to be made so I decided to mention the ones I found to be most noteworthy. The period of the war, I feel, was something like a game of chess played with great intensity by the Allied Nations against Germany and its allies. The game was being played not only for victory but also for technology.
