well the Wright brothers were employed by the government at one point and they helped construct aircraft designs for them. Planes weren't used very much in the military though until WW2. Prior to WW2 planes were used to observe the battle field and relay positions back to their commander. they also helped to tell were the commanders own men were because there weren't portable radios for the troops at the time. Pilots were friendly to each other even if they were on opposite sides. it was almost unheard of to shoot another plane down. it wasnt till WW2 that pilots started ataching guns to their planes. the co-pilots started bringing explosives with them and would drop them on enemy troops.
