The right one Kind of.
Actually by moving the aileron downward the pilot increases the arch of the wing causing it to produce more lift causing that wing to raise up, making the plane roll.
By moving an aileron upward the pilot removes some arch from the wing causing it to produce less lift and the wing dips.
The rudder on the tail of the plane actually steers the plane much like a rudder steers a boat. However it is a combination of the ailerons and the rudder that produce a coordinated turn, keeping the center of gravity in the center of the plane, and making it a comfortable turn.

What were World War 1 planes like?
Planes in ww1 usually had two wings although there were monoplanes, triplanes and planes with four wings many had two. They had mounted machine guns that had to be fired manually. They were all propeller driven. The planes were made from wood and cloth and had open cockpits. The wood frame construction made planes susceptible to breaking up at high gs. The guns have to fire through the whirling propellers so a special gear was developed that would block the machine gun mechanism when the propeller was in the way. All in all the planes went from primitive death traps at the beginning to more advanced machines made of metal. The planes evolved greatly over the course of the war.
Why were zeppelins so hard to shoot down?
They were hard to shoot down because of their enormous size. If you went up in a plane and tried to shoot one down with a normal bullet it would create a leak, but not one big enough to cause any sever damage.

Aircraft were developed in the first place to accomplish a great feat in the world of science. Later on, militaries in the world decided that having a big ballon with a couple of guys with binoculars in it was a better solution to reconaissance that having a large patrol go out. Later, powered flight got developed and soon aircraft began shooting at each other, and they got developed into dedicated fighters and reconaissance airplanes. Even later on, they figured that having a big plane to lug mail along was better and faster than having couriers and ships do it, and these mailplanes soon develped into giant cargo planes.
