Initially for observing the enemy movements & effects of indirect fire,(Artillery) the idea of carrying weapons, shooting down the enemy aircraft, soon took on and the aerial fighter became a reality, then bombs & machine guns were added. There is very little similarity in the power of the aeroplane at the end of WW1 to the type of machine available in 1914. This is an example of warfare speeding up the process of technology.
The Treaty of Versailles was meant to force the central powers to dismantle their armies and prevent their economic growth by forcing them to pay reparations for the war. This was mostly to help prevent them from repeating the warring behavior.
the Russians had the most in number but these were mostly obsolete. the Germans were the most ready in terms of equipment and experience at the onset of the war , but by about mid 43 the allies had the upper hand over the continent.AnswerAs far as I'm aware, the early series of MiG fighters (produced from 1940 onwards) were well designed and effective.
Both the Allied and Central powers saw the usefulness of Aircraft BUT mostly as artillery spotters. It was only when the pilots began carrying pistols and rifles to attack other reconnaissance aircraft that the use of aircraft as armed weapons of war began.
A number of Allied and Axis powers changed sides during World War II. Of the major combatants, Italy stands out with its switch-over from the Axis to the Allied cause in 1943. Earlier, in 1940, France changed sides, as well, although its support of the Axis powers was mostly as a non-combatant.

World War 1 involved all of the world powers at that time. They were divided into two groups: the Allies and the Central Powers. The Allies group mostly consisted of the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and Italy. The Central Powers were formed around Germany, the Ottoman Empire, and Austria-Hungary.

Air Force mostly.
Mostly likely no but, you can try it out for your self.
Jet exhaust, which is now mostly hot air.
