How did the fighter plane change WWI?

Question

How did it change the war? Preferably info on the Fokker E1-E2

Answer 1

It turned the aircraft into a more potent weapon.  Observation/recce were vital missions; it was equally vital to prevent those missions from being completed over one's own troops.  An aircraft dedicated (not designed, that would come later) to that mission would be more effective than one given the mission ad hoc.

What set the Eindecker apart was it's synchronized belt-fed gun, aligned directly in front of the pilot.  This means that the pilot's line of sight, and consequent aiming is on the same axis.  (This is unlike wing-mounted guns, where the line of fire merges at some range with the pilot's line of sight).  The fuselage mounting also means that Eindecker's carried more ammunition per mission than any equivalent Allied aircraft; we would now call that a "heavier loadout".  Tactically one maneuvers the aircraft to shoot; simplifying the pilot's tracking and pursuit solutions.

It, the Eindecker, changed the war by achieving air superiority on the Western Front, and demonstrated to both sides what gaining (and losing) air superiority meant.  Less obviously at the time (1915), it also showed what happened when one falls behind in technological, and more importantly, tactical sophistication.

Answer 2

That is just COMMON SENSE... the airplane was an observation platform a gun platform and an recon platform that was above the fighting on the ground... so how do YOU think the introduction of the plane changed WW1?
