Where can someone find information on aircraft carriers in World War 1?
Air craft carriers did not exist in WW1. They came later in WW2. The biplane was the first aircraft used in war and the airplane was developed only 10 years before the war so there wasn't enough time to develop the idea of ships that carry planes. It wasn't until Oct of 1922 that the first landings/take off were done from a carrier. __ The Royal Navy's HMS Argus, a 14,550-ton aircraft carrier, was the first recognised aircraft carrier, although there had been attempts much earlier to land aircraft on ships. In 1918. a Sopwith One and a half Strutter landed on the Argus. It was fitted with hooks to grab the airplanes in 1919. The first attempts at landing on a ship took place before WW1. As well, some of the first aircraft were single winged planes. Of note were the Taube and the Blériot XIs, both used extensively in the early stages of the war.
