Farman	In 1912 Henri and Maurice Farman started an aviation company. The Farman MF-7 and MF-II were two of their planes widely used by the Allied forces at the beginning of the war. The French Army Air Service, Royal Flying Corps, Belgians, Italians, and the Royal Naval Air Service all used these popular planes.
Armored Tank	The tanks had to have a top speed of 4 mph on flat ground, be able to make sharp turns at top speed, have a reverse function, be able to climb hills, cross a 8 foot gap, and hold 10 crew, 2 machine guns, and a 2 pound gun. Lieutenant W. G. Wilson and William Tritton produced the first the first tank in complete secrecy. It was nicknamed Little Willie. It had a Daimler engine, 12 feet long track frames, weighed 14 tons, was able to carry a crew of 3, and could go just over 3 mph. Most importantly and to Swinton's disappointment, it couldn't cross many trenches. He believed that once he modified it, it would help the Allies tremendously.
Bomber	Frederick Handley Page and his company created the Hanley Page bomber in 1916. In November that year they bombed enemy installations and submarine bases. By 1918 he had created a four-engine bomber to attack industrial zones. Near the end of the war they began using huge bombs that weighed 1,650 pounds. The Royal Air Force had 258 of these powerful bombers on active service after the Armistice was signed.
Voison	One of the most productive aircraft designers in World War I was Gabriel Voisin. He created the Voisin planes, which were widely used by the Allies, and became the standard Allied bombers. The French Army Air Service, Royal Flying Corps, Russian, and Belgian air forces used them often. The Voisin V was the first bomber armed with a cannon instead of a machine-gun.
Antiaircraft	Many methods were used to try and destroy planes from the ground. Some people used rifles, but they didn't work very well. Antiaircraft artillery was the main weapon against planes. These heavy guns set atop a Pierce-Arrow five-ton armored lorry chassis. They could fire four rounds a minute at a range of 3,000 yards. Most of the time they were placed in groups to increase their effectiveness. By June 1916 Britain had 271 guns, and by 1918 they had 349.
Bolt Action Rifle	In the First World War nearly all infantrymen carried bolt action rifles. James Parish Lee, an immigrant to the United States is credited for developing this type of rifle. Cartridges were placed on top of a spring in a metal box called the bolt. As the bolt was opened, the spring forced the cartridges up against a stop; the bolt pushed the top cartridge into the chamber as it closed. After firing, the opening of the bolt extracted the empty cartridge case, and the return stroke loaded a fresh round.
Vickers Machine Gun	At the beginning of the war the Vickers was the British army's standard machine gun. The Vickers was a modified version of the Maxim Machine gun. Using a 250 round fabric belt magazine, firing over 600 rounds per minute and a range of over 4,500 yards it earned a reputation of being a highly reliable weapon.
Flame-Throwers	Germany began experimenting with flame-throwers in 1900. These powerful weapons used pressurized air, carbon dioxide, or nitrogen to push oil through the nozzle. The oil was ignited by a small charge and became a jet of flame. These machines were mainly used to clear enemy soldiers from their front line trenches. They first had a range of 25 meters, but were later increased to 40 meters. This made them hard to use anywhere besides no man's land. Other problems that flame-throwers had were that they were too hard to move around, and had only enough oil to burn 40 seconds at a time. Britain also experimented with flame-throwers and they also found them to be ineffective.
