With the stalemate of trench warfare it was imperative that the two-seater observation/reconnaissance airplanes of Germany be prevented in carrying out their activities and destroyed, in effect to deny the enemy his 'eyes.' These fast 'fighter' airplanes were used to carry out this task which led to each side attempting to protect their reconnaissance airplanes that began a new type of warfare - aerial combat.
