If the question is "What in the First World War" then the answer is planes (Gotha's).
Planes used to fly at night in World War 2 because when it was dark, the bomber's were able to see who had their lights on clearly - making a perfect target.
The first aeroplanes of world war one were not used to fight they were simply used to observe enemy trenches, but planes soon become fighter planes when machine guns were added to the plane, also in world war 1 they could reach speeds of 100mph.
