The Invention Of Airplanes During World War One
The invention of the airplane was a major step forward for warfare. During the lead up to World War One airplanes where only allowed for surveillance and they were forbidden to drop or shot any projectiles but soon people realized how valuable planes could be in combat so they started producing these war weapons just before the beginning of the war. The first bombing was delivered by the Italian in November 1911 just before the beginning of World War One. Which was followed by the first Aerial dogfight in 1912. This aerial dogfight consisted of pistol fire between the Germans and the British. They began developing planes in mass numbers to meet the demands of the military. During production more powerful motors were developed which helped planes

This basic aircraft was used in combat by the Germans, British and the French. The Army started developing and practicing airplane formations for the most effective attacks. During the course of World War One it was the Germans that navigated most of the development of planes, this is the reason that even though they were outnumbered eight to one combat situations they still managed to win. The Germans were the ones that invented and first used Bi-planes and Tri-planes. These planes had multiple wings and this made them more stable in turbulence, easier to manoeurvre to avoid gun fire and having two wings also increased the speed which was necessary during renaissance missions. During World War Two U.S. manufactured over 50,000 planes each year. Most of the airplanes that were used in World War Two were fighters or bombers. Also during World War Two airplanes were used to transport troops into and out of other countries and to transport supplies to the troops in combat and to medical
