WWI planes were unsafe primarily due to their rudimentary design and lack of advanced technology. They often had unreliable engines, making mechanical failures common during flight. Additionally, pilots faced inadequate training and limited safety equipment, such as parachutes, which were not widely used at the time. The wooden frames and fabric coverings also made them vulnerable to structural failures and fires.

Airplanes were used as observation planes during WWI; they adjusted artillery fire. WWI was a war of artillery & infantry. Aviation was new; therefore, since artillery was consistently used, and planes spotted artillery, nearly every land battle during WWI had some form of aerial combat taking place ABOVE the battle field...e.g the Somme, Verdun, etc.
