According to my text book,
"At Veracru, to floatplanes scouted inland.  During one flight, enraged Mexicans fired on the aircraft, scoring at least two hits.  The pilot responded by hurling a bar of laundry soap at hi assailants.  Despite its comic-opera quality, U.S. Military aviation had made its combat debut."

That's right.  The first American Military weapon using heavier-than-air vehicles was a bar of soap.  Yes.
