            You may think that Area-51 is a place where aliens roam but is absolutely not the case. Area-51 is a military base where the most classified aircraft and weapons are tested and detonated. This military base is one of many classified places in the country where black aircraft are flown and built. Black aircraft is just a term meaning that those aircraft are classified and are not revealed to the public. Area-51 is top-secret and nobody without government authorization can go through the base. Because of Area-51 and its predecessors, weapon technology can be kept under secret so that enemies of the United States cannot know what our nation is capable of.

            Today in modern warfare, fighters and bombers have a great task and an importance to the battlefield. Fighters were developed when the First World War erupted. These aircraft allowed the battlefield to evolve from dark, dirty trenches, to the cloudy, treacherous skies. Early fighters were made of plywood, and were powered by piston-engines. Armaments for these aircraft were machine guns and low-caliber pistols. Soon, Generals and world leaders recognized the importance of air-dominance. During World War Two, fighter frames were all metal and their weapons consisted of bombs and high-caliber machine guns that shoot 700 rounds per minute. Fighters had many tasks to do. They had to intercept fighters or bombers, defend bombers or airfields, and escort bombers.  Military strategists now crave for air dominance because of its importance. There is no other way to dominate the skies without having the best fighters, bombers, and spy planes.
