Strategic and tactical bombing, strafing, air supremecy, air defense and interception, reconnaissance, and transport. In other words, the same as today, although the planes are much more advanced now.
One of the few ways that planes were not used in the First World War was to drop paratroopers for airborne attacks. The US General Billy Mitchell wanted to use planes in this manner to break the trench deadlock of 1918, but his plan was not approved.
Also, world leaders in the Second World War were accustomed to flying, and some had their own planes specially modified for this purpose. Roosevelt used a B-24 Liberator. Hitler flew in a Focke-Wulf Condor. And Chang Kai-Shek had a Curtiss Condor.
