Plenty of biplanes in WWII as well.

Fair enough
Also plenty of monoplanes in WWI, most notably the Fokker Eindeckers,.
Good point. And, not to glorify warfare, but the synchronization gear was an amazingly innovative piece of technology.
It was certainly better than the initial French attempt to solve the problem, which was so good they named a tennis stadium after it.
Yes, but not other way around
Not a lot of WWII in biplanes?
There were monoplanes in WWI, most notably the Fokker Eindeckers which kicked the snot out of the Allies for most of 1915 and on into 1916, though largely because of their synchronized machine guns rather than any superiority in their design.
