It was a selective fire rifle. This means it could be semi or fully auto.

Correct. It had the German sounding "Schneider CA1" name.

Correct again. IT was the first French tank of the war.

That's a Farman F.E.2

It was first used as a fighter but later as recon and night bombers.

It served for the entire war, but had a very short life expectancy in 1918.

I remember hearing about it on the news when they found that one. The aircraft is a American made P-40 Warhawk that was supplied to the British via Lend-Lease. They called it the Kitty Hawk.
