I love to believe to the bizarre idea that those warplanes were created to shoot down other planes from the air, not as a pure human-killing machines.
That's why I really love the WW1 airbattles: the idea of chivalrous pilots trying to eliminate their adversary from the air, saluting them if they wanted to land after the battle. They wanted to eliminate the plane, not the pilots flying them. Oh.... how naive is that.
As odd as it may seem, I see a difference between the two types.
Infantry machineguns, rifles, bayonets, guns, are different beasts. Vulgar tools made just to kill human beings
(read a joke between the lines guys...)
