Humanity's aeronautical ambitions assumed an entirely new scope when aircraft were introduced to military warfare, taking battles into the third dimension and forever changing the way wars were fought. As a result, aviation technology underwent a dramatic transformation—one so powerful that during World War I, aircraft production exploded and aircraft speed, distance, and load capacity more than doubled.
