In the First World War was one of the aircraft for special purposes - as a recognition, attack, fighter and bomber aircraft - developed and not get a role in winning the war. The performance of all subsystems - the fuselage (wood / metal), motors (series, circulation, radial engine, water cooled or air) and the propeller is increased dramatically.

Sustainable impact in the postwar period was the establishment of an aviation industry, air traffic infrastructure is required (airports, radio systems) and aviation community (the community). Worked before the war only a few thousand in aviation, was towards the end of the war in Germany and France on 190 000 3000 00Personen. About 200000Flugzeuge total production, mostly in France (60,000), followed by Britain (58,000) and Germany (48,000). Learned to build giant aircraft (Dornier, Rohrbach, Handley Page, short, Farman, Voisin, Caproni) and innovation as a particularly powerful use of duralumin in the construction of metal (Junkers, Dornier and Rohrbach). Typical aircraft by the end of the war fighters Fokker DVII (Germany) and the British Sopwith Camel or a bomber, the dual-engine Vickers Vimy British.
