It looks like the Buck Rogers Comic eventually introduced some outer space elements, probably starting with the "Tiger Men of Mars" series. | |

I suppose there could be a pilot in addition to the gunner. The OP only specifies fighter sized. Modern fighter planes are 2 seated, RIO and pilot. Also the closeup in the lower left shows a 1 man craft. | |

I'm nor certain that any fit the small one man fighter space craft stereotype as popularized by Star Wars in 1977, and some of them might be as big as space battleships. There have been written space operas with battles between fleets of space battleships for over a century by 2018. The OP asks for "fighter sized spacecraft used for combat" inspired by fighter airplanes. | |
