During the late 1920s, the South American nation of Argentina began building a powerful naval fleet to defend its 2,500-mile (4,000km) coastline and critical navigation lanes - the fleet was named Flota de Mar.
The Mitsubishi J2M Raiden was constructed as an interceptor with high horizontal speed and climb rate. Achieving good performance in the aforementioned parameters resulted in worse maneuverability, but it was still a very successful design.
The English Electric Lightning (later known as BAC Lightning) is the first British fighter to achieve twice the speed of sound. The plane was constructed in the 1960s (339 copies were built).
