Biplanes in 1914 were mostly curiosities with few practical uses..  It
took the technological ferment of a World War (and the resulting post
war surplus of pilots, aircraft, designers, and manufacturing
capability) to really boost the curve.

established the path to modern planes in 1915.
continued with the F13 post WWI

the wood and canvas stuff was a bit of a cul de sac.
