How did air power change warfare during World War 2?
Although airplanes changed from cloth covered wooden airplanes of WWI into metal airplanes of WWII, as well as more advanced and powerful bombers; the real change was "Naval Warfare." Air power completely eliminated the mighty battleship as a decisive naval weapon. Airplanes (launched from aircraft carriers) became the new naval weapon. WWII may be unique in that it was the only war in history in which aircraft carriers fought aircraft carriers.
Why do aircraft carriers continue to increase in size?
The bigger they are, the more aircraft they can carry. During WWII, the baby carriers (CVE-Escort Carriers) carried about 30 planes; light carriers (CVL) carried roughly 50 planes; fleet carriers (CV) carried approximately 90 or more airplanes.

Who are the main users of military aircraft?
The Air Force of a nation usually has more aircraft than the other services combined. If the Navy has aircraft carriers, they need airplanes that can take off and land on those vessels. If the Navy does not have aircraft carriers, they usually have a few land based aircraft. Most Army's have helicopters (aka rotating wing aircraft) and some fixed-wing aircraft. The Marine Corps have a combination of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. The Coast Guard have their own fleet of land based aircraft. The Air Force is the main users of military aircraft, but, not the only branch to use them. Generally speaking the civilian police/law enforcement agencies do not use military aircraft, except on special occasions.
What is the impacts to society of the aircraft carriers?
Aircraft can strike any city anywhere anytime, thanks to the aircraft carrier. Stated another way: Prior to the carrier, airplanes NEEDED a land base to operate from. So if a country or city was too far away from any land, it would be virtually safe from air attack because NO AIRPLANE could reach it. Thanks to the carrier; no land (island) is needed.
Are airplanes aircraft?
Yes, airplanes are aircraft. However, not all aircraft are airplanes. Helicopters, blimps, and balloons are aircraft- but they are not airplanes. Airplanes are generally fixed wing machines that move through the air.
