The history of modern jet powered aircraft starts in Germany in 1939, when the Heinkel He 178 became the first true jet aircraft to fly. Earlier jet-like aircraft, such as the Italian Campini Caproni (used a piston engine to drive a turbine blade) and the amazing airplane built by Henry Coanda in 1910 did not have true jet engines. It's interesting to speculate what path aviation would have taken had Coanda's plane not crashed during an accidental takeoff.
