Perhaps not the airplanes but their armament, a machine gun based on
known Gatling technology but significantly lighter in weight.


The problem would synchronising the gun with the engine.
Vickers and Lewis guns were perfectly adequate

Cluster munitions would be even more effective, although the timing
