In World War II, numerous aircraft including the U.S. Douglas C-47, Boeing B-17, and the German Junkers Ju-52, stayed in production from the beginning to the end of war.  For fighters the story was different.

One of the more interesting aspects of aircraft development is how the
same problems tend to generate similar solutions at the same time in
different countries though there is seemingly little connection. In the
early 1930s, while the biplane performance had clearly gone as far as
it could go, there was still the desire for increased performance with
the relatively low-powered engines available. Some form of flying wing
seemed to offer a solution.  In both Great Britain and the Soviet
Union, a few bold designers attempted to develop flying wing-type
combat aircraft with good performance on low-powered engines.

With the defeat of the Luftwaffe in its Battle of Britain daylight

continue their attacks. As the scale of the night raids increased and
the day raids dropped to nothing the RAF, which had mainly ignored
