World War One aircrafts were introduced in 1914, when World War One started. There was a total of 156 aircrafts in World War One with tops speeds of 100 MPH. The planes were made of wood and canvas, and if they caught fire it would spread very quickly. The pilots, aviators, did not carry parachutes which could be very dangerous in a bad situation. The press and public idolized the young heroes, pilots. The planes would fly over enemy lines to determine the enemy's positions and movements, which was also a very dangerous move to make. As the war moved forward both sides began to use the aircrafts to drop bombs. Although the first planes could only carry a little amount of small bombs. With more and more aircrafts in the sky each side began to fight in the air.
