    After the pilots had been trained, it was necessary to have fighter aircraft for them to fly. Early on in the war, still before the production of "good" airplanes, pilots either flew larger bombing aircraft like the Avro or BE(Bleroit experimental), or early single seaters such as the Thomas-morse or a Morane Saulnier. Obviously these are just a few of them, but those were some of the main ones. Morane made many types of aircraft, but probably the most famous of them was the Morane Saulnier…

    to graduate from officer training. Whittle chose his thesis topic to be over the future of aviation. In his paper, he discussed that with the way planes were gaining thrust, which was by propellers, the planes would never be able to fly higher than twenty thousand feet since the air was too thin for the propellers to give the plane forward thrust. Starting development in the 1930s, Frank Whittle was named the inventor of the jet engine for airplanes (Sisson). The invention of the jet engine has…
