Leonardo da vinci (1452-1519) made some drawings of aircraft that have subsequently been built and flown, but the first controlled powered flight was by Orville Wright, who took off on the 17th December 1903.

What country started using the World War 1 Airplanes?

Germany was the first country to use airplanes, but other countries started using that technique after Germany had used airplanes. _ Most countries already had small standing airforces prior to the start of WW1. The Royal Flying Corp was created in 1912. Germany's Deutsche Luftstreitkräfte was formed in 1910. The French started the war with about 140 airplanes (their air corp started in 1909). Orignally airplanes were restricted to recon. As the war progressed the role of the plane changed. In 1914, air recon proved invaluable - the Battle of the Mons is a good example. Without the recon work done, the Allied troops may very well have been oblitereated. Both the German and Russian military used air recon extensively on the Eastern Front in 1914. I don't believe there is a specific date given for the use of airplanes because they were basically used from the start.
