The Pathway to Victory Was Paved from the Air
During World War II, air warfare changed drastically from previous wars. Every country involved vied for air dominance. Each worked feverishly to improve their aircraft fleets and, as a result, technology advanced dramatically in a short time.
The three main types of aircraft used during World War II were bombers, fighters, and transport planes. Bombers were large, long-distance aircraft that carried bombs to drop on targets. Fighter planes were used for air combat, so these were the fastest and easiest to maneuver. They were often used as protectors of the less-agile bombers. Transport planes were the workhorses that carried supplies and troops during the war.
