Not sure HMS Furious qualifies as an aircraft carrier, and if we start including converted battleships, then there are pre-WW1 examples.
I guess you could say strategic bombing started in WW1, I hesitated on that one but thought I'd throw it in for good measure! LMGs and sub MGs are just improvements on existing MGs, which date back to mid 19th c. There'd be lots of weapons like that, including improved swords and bayonets. Likewise flamethrowers date back to ancient times, not a new concept in WW1. Although you could probably argue they were new in that they were no longer manually pumped.
