The airplanes played a role that was not that important. They were just beginning to improve the airplanes for battle, so it wasn't until the end of the war where they were important. Then they mostly bombed other planes.

Significantly. The technology of flight made enormous strides during WWI, and was a big factor by the end of the war. Notably, the British Royal Flying Corps (Not Corpse!) was formed from the navy, but was made an independent third arm of the military called the Royal Air Force at the end of the war. It was the world's first Air Force.

They were used in dogfights, for spying, and bombing. Bombing although not accurate yet at this time, provided a pretty safe approach to attack the trenches. Dogfights also increased with the improvements of planes. Some pilots innovated their own planes to be able to shoot machine guns off the front of them.

Aces, (Pilots that shot down 25 planes) first brought up Pistols and Rifles, then Machine Guns. British and French created substantially more aircrafts than the Germans giving them the upperhand in the air.

Aviation was huge in World War 1, it was the first war ever to have planes, tanks and other weapons like that. Even after the war, aviation has grown franticly. Every year there has been an 'upgrade' to the plane.
