May 1916 saw the aerial war over the Western Front take on a more modern shape, as specialist fighter squadrons were formed & new types of aeroplanes were introduced; the French & the British secretly sign the Sykes-Piot Agreement to partitian the Middle East after the defeat of the Ottomans, seemingly contrary to the British inducements that elicited the Arab Revolt; & the British & the Germans fight the largest discrete naval action of the war.
