When Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated on the 28th of June 1914, it was just over a decade since the Wright brothers first twelve second flight at Kittyhawk. In the intervening years advances in range and reliability proved that the airplane was a viable, if still somewhat exotic, means of transport. In 1909 Bleriot made the first flight across the English Channel. In 1913 Roland Garros made the first cross Mediterranean flight, from the south of France to Tunisia. There was also, in this period, some initial understanding of the military implications of the airplane. In 1911 the Italians, at war with Turkey in Libya, became the first to make military use of the airplane, dropping grenades from a German-built monoplane. In 1912 they also dropped bombs from an airship.
