                War I was the first armed conflict in which airplanes played a
                major role.  when the war began, it was fought largely
                between ground forces, but as it progressed, the airplane began
                playing a larger and larger role.  As the Allies amassed
                great air strength, they so ably disrupted  German ground
                forces that the war quickly came to an end.  We are proud
                to present models of some of the war's most famous
                airplanes.  See the list at
