List of military aircraft by era

This is a list of military aircraft by era. The eras are World War One (1903-1918), World War Two (1919-1945), Korea and Vietnam (1946-1975, Cold War (1976-1991) and the Present (1992-2010). Variants are not included. Offshoots of the aircraft that change role (e.g. C-135 → RC-135) and redesignations are separately listed. The list is sorted first by era, then country and finally alphabetically. (Note: C-5 will be above C-130, as 5 is lower than 130, etc.) (Note: These eras do not refer to the aircraft that fought in those wars, but rather the aircraft that were introduced during that time)
Prototypes, developing and research aircraft are listed in the same fashion. Designs that never flew are not listed, as are aircraft rejected for their project/requirements.
Various collaborations between countries are listed separately beneath each country's list in the appropriate era.
USSR/Warsaw Pact and Imperial Japanese aircraft are listed with their NATO reporting names.
