Home > Aerial combat

Combat has been fought in the air since 1911. Zeppelins and airplanes were used in World War I, but zeppelins were abandoned and airplanes were used and have been used in a variety of forms.

Originally, planes were used for reconnisance and observation until somebody brought a rifle and took a potshot at another plane.

Guns have been used in planes until quite recently, when they were replaced by guided missiles such as the Sidewinder.

Even the US F/A-22 Raptor, due to enter service in 2005, has a gatling-style gun, but it only carries about 480 rounds of ammunition.
