Fighters like the P41 Mustang weren't really all that big. About the size of a twin engine Cessna today.

How was the airplane used in world was 1?

Most of the same ways as in WW2: They were originally most widely used as Balloon Busters to destroy enemy spotter hot-air balloons, which led to dogfights between them, and developed fighter planes. There were also bombers, though that role was not as big as in WW2. And some military ships carried pontoon planes on lift cranes for both observation and later, torpedo duty. The treaty ending WW 1 specified that all the German Fokker D-7 fighter planes had to be surrendered, a very unusual requirement.


What is better used in WW1 machine guns or airplanes?

In world war 1 the planes were in no way effective, only to be used as biplanes and such, not like the spitfire in world war 2 which played a big part in it.Therefore machine guns were much more developed than airplanes.

What was Amelia Earhart's role in World War 2?

Amelia Earhart died on July, 2, 1937 over the Pacific ocean. She was born in 1897. It would have been wonderful to have her on hand for World War 2 as Charles Lindbergh was available for consultation with the new planes used in the Pacific Theater. I would imagine she would have welcomed a position helping the women to learn to fly when the women were trained to fly small planes and the big planes. I have to admit she is one of my heroines because of her bravery to do more than a difficult task of flying around the world.
