The first plane used in World War I was the Wright Flyer, which made its inaugural flight in 1903. However, the first military aircraft utilized during the war were primarily the French Voisin and the German Taube, both deployed for reconnaissance and bombing missions. The war saw rapid advancements in aviation technology, leading to more specialized combat aircraft as the conflict progressed.
The first German plane shot down in World War II was a Heinkel He 111, which was brought down by a British fighter over the town of Wrexham, Wales, on September 6, 1939. This incident marked an early engagement between British and German forces following the outbreak of the war. The aircraft was part of a reconnaissance mission, and its downing was a significant event in the initial phase of the conflict.

The German 'Eindekker', the French Nieuport 'Bebe' and the British Vickers FB5 were possibly the first aircraft built where observing was a secondary use.
