When were airplanes used as weapons in war?
In World War II the Axis powers turned their airplanes into weapons during Kamikaze missions. The Japanese are the most famous for this.

Kamikaze missions were also prevalent in sea battles where one plane could take out an entire ship.
What did the importance of the outcome of the Battle of Midway have on the war?
Tank crewman, infantrymen, sailors, artillerymen, etc. can be trained in 8 to 16 weeks. It takes years to train top notch military pilots. The Battle of Midway took away the "cream of the crop" of their combat pilots and air crewmen (fighter pilots, dive bomber pilots and rear gunners, torpedo bomber pilots and gunners and torpedomen). Japan should have trained more pilots than it did. But apparently, Japan did not think that they would lose so many pilots during the war. From Midway afterwards, for the most part, inexperienced (naval) pilots would be fighting against the US and it's allies.
