These are types of guns used during World War I. The term "Gun" is used to describe a cannon that fires a shell at high velocity in a relatively flat trajectory and increases range by elevating the muzzle; this compares to a Howitzer , which fires a shell at lower velocity in a high trajectory.
Perhaps the most famous fighter plane during World War 1 was the Fokker as it was the first to include a synchronized machine gun. [23] [24] [25] Towards the end of the conflict, aircraft carriers were used for the first time, with HMS Furious launching Sopwith Camels in a raid to destroy the Zeppelin hangars at Tønder in 1918.
