Although military aircraft were being built in the United States as early as 1911, it is amazing that not one single American plane fought in World War 1 despite the exceptional role played by the Lafayette Escadrille and the US Army Air Corps during this war. By the end of World War 2 the United States was manufacturing aircraft not only for its own Army, Navy and Marine Corps but for Britain and many other allies as well. Since World War 2 the United States has supplied weapons ranging from the C-47 transport to the Sabre jet F-5 and F-15 to its own armed forces and to dozens of countries throughout the world. The United States is the principal manufacturer of military aircraft in the world today.
