In World War I, airplanes were used for reconnaissance, bombing, intercepting, and (especially seaplanes) for maritime patrols.

This was the first war where aircraft became a primary weapon, able to attack enemy supply areas well behind the front lines. This also heralded the advent of air-to-air combat (dogfights) between aircraft of opposing forces.
