Duke, From what I understand one of the very first times that was used was to drop Brit paratroopers in France with gliders towed behind other planes. "Operation Magic" was code named for the tinfoil chaff because it would create a "ghost cloud" for the planes to hide behind and somewhat blind german anti aircraft guns.
