This is a list of aviation-related events from 1914. The outbreak of World War I accelerates all aspects of aviation which in turn changes war in a twofold way. The aeroplane turns the sky into a new battlefield and eliminates the distinction between frontline and hinterland, with the civilian population far behind the frontline also becoming a target. The war results in the deaths of approximately 20,000 flyers, most of them trained pilots. == Events == * The Austro-Hungarian Navy formally creates an air arm.〔Layman 1989, p. 13.〕 * Fiat establishes its ''Società Italiana Aviazione'' subsidiary, beginning its involvement in the manufacture of aircraft.〔Chant, Chris 2000, p. 48.〕 * The Yokosuka Naval Arsenal begins to produce seaplanes, the first manufacture of naval aircraft in Japan.〔Peattie 2001, p. 23.〕 * The Aeromarine Plane and Motor Company is founded in Keyport, New Jersey, with Inglis M.
