History >> World War I World War I was the first major war to use aircraft as an important part of military aircraft. The airplane was invented by Wright brothers in 1903, 11 years before the beginning of World War I. At the beginning of the war aircraft played a small role in the war, but by the end of the war the Air Force became an important branch of the army. The first use of the aircraft in the First World War was due to reconnaissance. The aircraft jumps over the battlefield and determines the movement and position of the enemy. One of the first major contributions of the aircraft in the war was that in Marne's first fight, the Allied reconnaissance plane found a gap on the German line. The Allies attacked this gap and we were able to divide and repel German troops.

Aircraft were widely used for the first time in the First World War. Prior to the First World War, aircraft were not used much in battle. This is the first war to use an airplane as a weapon. The aircraft was first used for reconnaissance, enemy land shooting, and artillery directing. The military leader general used aircraft as an important part of his attack plan at the end of the war. World War I showed that aircraft may be an important weapon of war. The airplane of the First World War was made of wood and canvas and it was a coarse cloth. They did not last long. They could not fly fast at the beginning of the war. They fly at a speed of 116 km / h, or 72 mph. At the end of the war, you can fly at 222 kilometers per hour or 138 miles per hour. But they can not fly as fast as today's plane. During the war, the gun was placed on an airplane for the first time. A pilot of a flying aircraft uses a gun to shoot enemy aircraft

The aircraft also made its debut in the First World War. In fact, during the First World War, the word battle dog was first used and the battle between two opposed aircraft was explained. However, aircraft were first used to detect and transport bombs. In the second half of the war, fighter planes were introduced. They carry machine guns, bombs, and even cannons. Machine guns, such as the Second World War and the Russo-Japanese War before the Second World War, were also applied to the war before the First World War. Machine guns available at the beginning of the First World War required four to six people to operate them. Guns also need to be placed in flat service. This machine gun has firepower of the other 100 guns. Large field guns were also used. They have a longer range, but they need a dozen people to manipulate them.
