Yes and no. Stand by for clarification. There was no AA artillery developed until after the war, but standard rifle bullets were sufficient to bring down most WW1 aircraft. Machine guns were mounted on a tripod which was specially made for AA so it could be angled high. The tripods were available in insufficient numbers, so wagons were turned on their sides and a machine gun on a standard tripod was mounted on one of the wheels.
