Not to veer off topic, but I always found this timeline fascinating: First straight line no frills flight was 1903. The first dogfight (with pistols) was 1913. The first [officially recognized] dogfight with machine guns was 1914. By 1915, forward-firing machine guns became standard, allowing for aggressive aerial duels.
If only science and discovery was our species’ true priority :(
