2.  A fighter aircraft is a military
aircraft designed primarily for air-to-air
combat against other aircraft, as opposed
to bombers and attack aircraft, whose main
mission is to attack ground targets.
 The hallmarks of a fighter are its speed,
maneuverability, and small size relative to
other combat aircraft.

3.  The word "fighter" did not become the official
English-language term for such aircraft until after
World War I. In the British Royal Flying
Corps and Royal Air Force these aircraft were
referred to as "scouts" into the early 1920s. The U.S.
Army called their fighters "pursuit" aircraft from
1916 until the late 1940s. In most languages a
fighter aircraft is known as a hunter, or hunting
aircraft
