    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.…

    The Wright brothers were actually the ''first'' people to fly. Some other people flew first, but they failed, so scientists didn't count their experiments. The Wright made an airplane that resisted more than the other ones and had wheels, that's the reason why they were successful. They were the first to fly, but not to do an airplane and that is a fact. Historians know that the Wright weren't the first to fly, but they were the first SUCCESSFUL people to fly.…
