Manned flying machines (not balloons, gliders or parachutes) used in combat began about 1911 with the Italians. 1. WWI (1914-1918) was the first general war involving mass numbers of aircraft, globally, including in Asia and Mexico. 2. WWII (beginning with the United States 1941-1945-the US produced more aircraft than all of the combatants combined) was the second general war involving mass numbers of aircraft, again on a global scale. 3. Korean War (1950-1953) saw the first jet clashes. But was restricted to primarily Northern Korea. 4. Vietnam War (1961-1975) saw the most bomb tonnage dropped from any war. But was restricted to primarily SEA (South East Asia-Laos, Cambodia, North Vietnam, and South Vietnam). WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam Wars all saw heavy aerial combat between aircraft (dog-fights between propeller airplanes & jets). However: A. WWII was global. B. WWII involved more nations (countries). C. WWII was fought over oceans with aircraft carriers. WWII saw more aerial combat.
