The birth of air-war was 1914 however it was ineffective and weak.

By WW2 that is a whole another story and how war was fought was changed entirely.

The use of heavier metal crafts and units became a breaking point in warfare which created the need for anti-artillery, air craft carriers and etc.

World War I was mainly trench-warfare and machine guns, the machine gun was unmatched and the old ways of war-fare changed. More weapons were needed, the history of World War I is the biggest tragedy on the face of this earth.

Endless machine gun fire, months and years of war fought for very substantially less space then expected due to machine gun.

Tanks and other weapons were used but not very effectively.

The riflemen was needed to pick off with accuracy, the Thompson gun was to move down and assault, and the mg was cut off an area completely with bullets and hold it off so that the advantage in a number of troops charging will not really be a matter.

With the use of covering fire from a distance this became effective again in world war to requiring for more assault needed combat, making the mg a less effective weapon.
