Wireless telephone achievement aids air combat
In 1917 the effort to link aircraft via wireless telephony produced a practical system linking two planes and ground stations. Demonstrations at Wright Field showed pilots and observers communicating between planes and ground, with orders transmitted ten miles away. The system proved a major advance and earned large postwar orders from allies and services.
