When the airpfane was first introduced to warfare, its primary purpose was that of observation. But it was not long before opposing pilots started taking shots at each other, and the deadly contest of aerial combat became the true test of skill for a military pilot. In spite of the wide variety of roles and missions that these pilots have been asked to perform during the wars of the twentieth century, scoring a victory or kill over an enemy aircraft in the air has become the most important and glamorous accomplishment that could be performed in the cockpit of a military aircraft. Nothing else is more publicized, and nothing can make a pilot a hero more quickly than meeting the enemy in the air and winning. It has been called the ultimate video game where living is the prize for the victor.
