The first practical use was carrying mail, which was within the weight capacity of early planes, and provided a rapid way to move messages, other than by radio. This began in 1911, and preceded the use of aircraft in combat. (Airmail eventually reduced the transit time for international mail to days instead of weeks.)

This was followed by crop dusting, which saved a great amount of time over surface application of pesticides. This began around 1921.
