During World War II, the race to develop and produce advanced fighter jets was intense, as they played a crucial role in gaining air superiority. The Germans were early pioneers in this field, with the introduction of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and the Focke-Wulf Fw 190. The British also had notable fighters such as the Supermarine Spitfire and the Hawker Hurricane.
