When World War One began in 1914, most military chiefs thought aircraft were useless as weapons. At that time. most "heavier-than-air" machines were flimsily built and had unreliable engines. Flying was a slow and dangerous business and accidents were common. So at first. aircraft were onlv used to search for, spy on, and photograph the enemy. Before long. pilots began to shoot at each other with rifles and pistols. Then before the War was a year old, the first true fighter appeared in European skies. This was the German Fokker E.III which carried a machine-gun rigged to fire forwards. Straight away it began to shoot down hundreds of Allied aircraft. The British quickly produced the first real fighter for the Allies, the Vickers FB5 Gunbus.. Second Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Illus. by Jobson, Ron; Dugdale, Jim - Illustrators. 7" x 7 3/4".

The first airborne craft to be used in battle were balloons - used as observation platforms to guide artillery and troop movements. When winged aircraft took to the air, military men dismissed the flimsy machines and doubted their value. Fighters and bombers eventually proved their worth during World War One and from that time air power has become increasingly important. From biplanes and triplanes to monoplanes and from propellors to jet engines, vertical take-off and helicopters, modern combat aircraft are now among the most sophisticated and complex fighting machines in the world. This book traces the brief history of aircraft used in war.
