What war was first for extensive use of jet aircraft and helicopters?
Jets were introduced by the Nazi's towards the end of WWII. Helicopters debuted for the Americans in Korea. Admitting that the question itself is requesting a subjective answer, I'm tempted to say the first war to see extensive use of both jets and helicopters was Viet Nam, but that was only a conflict, so I guess the first American war to see extensive use of both jets and helicopters was Gulf War I, and the first war in the world to see extensive use of both jets and helicopters was probably the Falklands War.
When were planes first used in battle?
Fighter planes were first used in the 20th century in world war one in 1914. The first fighter planes were the Sopwith Camel- British and the Fokker triplane- German Fighter developed rapidly and in World war two e had fighters such as the spitfire and the Hurricane
When were fighter jets invented?
AnswerWorld War 2The German Messerschmidt Me-262 was the first jet-powered fighter aircraft to go into operation. The British and the US were building jets but they were not ready to go into combat.The Messerschmitt (note correct spelling) was the first to see combat, however it wasn't "operational" as such: the first ones were flown by service pilots in an evaluation unit (Erprobungskommando).The British Gloster Meteor entered service in Spring 1944, followed by the Me 262 that Summer and the American P-80 later on. Meteors were used for intercepting V-1 "Doodlebugs" over the UK rather than being used in Europe, mainly due to a reluctance to having a downed one fall into German hands (the Meteor was, all round, a more mature design and had greater reliability).The first jet fighter built was the He 178, first flight August 26 1939 - a few days before WWII started, and the German air ministry (RLM) ordered development of jets to be put "on the back burner" as there was no requirement for them envisaged.
Who was the first to use aeroplanes in World War I?
The first aeroplanes of world war one were not used to fight they were simply used to observe enemy trenches, but planes soon become fighter planes when machine guns were added to the plane, also in world war 1 they could reach speeds of 100mph.
What is spitfire World War 2?
A Supermarine Spitfire was a British fighter plane used in world war 2.
Were fighter jets used in World War 1?
No, the jet engine had not been invented yet, so there were no "fighter jets"
Who used fighter jets firstly in war?
Germany, during WW2.
Why was the innovation of fighter jets important to the development of war strategy?
Innovation of fighter jets leads to advanced warfare. Innovated fighter jets means more safety features and that means less deaths.
How have fighter jets affected the war in Iraq?
Not much. Iraq didnt have much of an air force left after the Gulf War, with basically no fighter planes. Most US operations are as fighter-bombers, doing support for ground troops.

What do fighter planes look like?
Characteristics of a Fighter PlaneToday, a fighter plane is usually a jet aircraft. The characteristics of a fighter jet were established back in World War 2, when Britain and Germany made the first jets. One characteristic of the fighter jet was that their wings are swept back. Older airplanes had straight wings, even though they might get smaller further out at the tip. The swept-back wings reduced the drag caused by the voritces at the wing tips. This allowed the jets to fly faster.Most fighter jets have their jet engines mounted inside the fuselage; as opposed to mounted under the wings. The first German fighter jet had wing-mounted engines. Very few fighter jets continued with this design.Most fighter jets have a pilot (or 2 pilots) sitting in a cockpit mounted on top of the fuselage. This provides better visibility so the pilots can watch for enemy aircraft during combat. Bombers will have the cockpit buried down in the fuselage(one exception is the B-47 bomber that had a cockpit like a fighter jet).How to spot a Fighter Plane?Modern jet aircraft have changed dramatically. So this question is difficult to answer. Some fighter jets server in many different roles: fighter, reconnisance, bomber. Some fighter jets have 2-crewmen and 2 engines and are quite large where others are a single pilot and very small. The most recent ones have stealth technology that gives their wings and fuselage very unique shapes.

Were super jets used in World War 2?
No, there were a few jets near the end, but none could be called 'super jets'.
What were the theories of the use of air power in World War 1?
Before World War 1, airplanes were used for recreation. However, during World War 1 airplanes were used for reconnaissance and spying on the enemies. Airplanes were also used as fighter jets and as bombers. Airplanes changed warfare greatly and allowed for blitz attacks and air warfare.
