As annoying as it might seem, it was World War One that gave the airplanes the major incentives to improve and diversify. Before 1914, aircraft were noisy curiosities, with no real functions in society. The war effort used them for combat, but also developed aerial recon work, communications, transport and Propaganda purposes. World War Two helped, too.

One of the main things aircraft were used for was record breaking flights as the brave British airmen Alcock and Brown flew a Vimy bomber in the first flight across the Atlantic in 1919. -Aircraft were used in crop dusting, aerial circuses and for the first airmail flights.
