When France fell in May 1940 and the Battle of Britain was imminent,
there was a certain amount of panic in the British Ministry of Defense
about the number of Hurricane and Spitfire fighters available and the
consequences of the Germans bombing the factories that produced them.

In the early 1950s, the biggest military threat to Western nations
seemed to be a few Soviet bombers dropping atomic bombs from high
altitude on major cities. For countries in Europe close to the Soviet
Union, this meant a requirement for a fast climbing, high speed
interceptor to shoot down the bombers before they dropped their weapon.
Range, in the form of fuel weight, was sacrificed for this high
performance, and these aircraft were known as point defense inceptors.
