First war plane to fly and who was in the war plane?
The first aircraft fitted for war were civilian designed planes with crew members armed with rifles, machine guns and in some cases bricks. When WW1 started there were no identifiable war planes. The aircraft were strictly reconnaissance. The observers (two man crews) armed themselves and would take pot shots at each other. The first verified downing of an enemy aircraft came on Oct 5 1914 the crew of a French reconnaissance Voisin III pusher biplane recorded the first "kill" by shooting down a German Aviatik B.1. The observer in the Voisin stood in his seat and fired a machine gun at the opposing airplane. The first single seater fighter aircraft was born when the French developed the a deflector (steel deflector plates attached to propellers) that allowed pilots to attack and not shoot their own propeller off. Roland Garros shot down the first plane on 1st of April, 1915. Shortly after the Germans captured a French plane equipped with the deflector, Anthony Fokker developed the interrupter gear that timed the machine gun bursts to go between rotations of the propeller. This allowed for greater accuracy. On 1st of August 1915, German pilot Oswald Boelke scored the first kill using an Eindecker monoplane equipped with the interrupter and the true fighter aircraft was born.
