Which country historically dominated aerial warfare?

I have this vague in my head that land war as we know it (at least until the end of the 1900s) was largely developed by the French, and not only did the British militarily rulemthe seas but also the modern navy as we know it is a product of the British. these These may be incorrect, and I am happy to have my wrong notions corrected. However in addition I am wondering which country was considered the pioneers, most influential, and most powerful when it comes to aerial warfare, both when it was developed through its history? I often think of both of both the Luftwaffe or the Royal Air Force but that may just be because those names are snazzy.

It is without a doubt Nazi Germany for about 15 minutes and then Russia and the United States.
