Best Answer

There's a bit of competition for which plane could be thought of as the first. The first to shoot down an enemy aircraft was a French Voisin III two-seater pusher biplane. In 5th of October 1914, the crew shot down a German Aviatik B.1.

However, experiments in putting machine guns in aircraft predated WW1. As early as 1912 the military was trying to arm aircraft, with limited success.
