World War I was monumental in history because of all the new technologies introduced. One particular area that developed during the Great War was the use of aircraft by the German and Allied armies. By comparison, they both had different mindsets toward an invention that only achieved success less than a decade before the outbreak of war in 1914 by the Wright Brothers in North Carolina, U.S. -United. The German military welcomed the idea with open arms, investing in its potential for military use, while the Allies remained reserved and hesitant, saying the planes could not be used for anything more offensive than reconnaissance missions. . These differences of opinion then affected the development of each air force. The German military continued to constantly improve its equipment while Allied pilots were slow in evolving their respective air forces. However, there was a progression common to both armies, namely the slow gradual elimination of cavalry on each side due to the effectiveness of the aircraft's reconnaissance and combat capabilities. During World War I, the German military took advantage of the new technologies available to them, which yielded significant results, while the Allies had a more traditional mentality and followed at a slower pace. The Central Powers accepted new technologies into their history. without much opposition. An example of this fact is based on how prepared the German army was when World War I broke out. By 1914, the German Army had 230 aircraft listed on paper, of which at least 180 were manufactured and ready. Which, compared to the ninety (three squadrons of thirty) provided by the British, represented almost two...... middle of paper ......n, despite their mobility problems in the trenches and across the front lines. The French had the better idea of ​​incorporating aircraft into the cavalry and artillery divisions in order to obtain a much greater benefit than if the three units worked alone. However, as aircraft gradually proved their versatility and practical uses for reconnaissance and defense, the need for cavalry on both sides diminished and was withdrawn after World War I. Nevertheless, even though there were similar evolutionary changes in the development of small reconnaissance aircraft through to combat aircraft, the Germans were always a few steps ahead of the Allies and were consistent in their improvements because from that French planes have caught up with their standards, a new piece of machinery was introduced into the German fleets and widened the performance gap between the two air forces..
