Talk:Air-to-ground communication

Title
I was surprised to find there was no existing general article on this topic. The title isn't right though - maybe it should be renamed to Aircraft communication. Any comments? —S MALL JIM   15:24, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

First 2-way radio?
You report that the first case of 2-way aerial radio communication was in summer 1915, but the report on the 1917 American version by AT&T claims the same distinction. Valetude (talk) 16:27, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

I've added some references to support Brooklands, England in summer 1915 as being the first case of two-way aircraft radio communications (balloons were earlier - but used Morse code so technical wireless telegraphy rather than wireless / radio telephony. I saw the claim about AT&T being the first in 1917 too - even AT&T claim this but they are wrong. E bruton (talk) 13:37, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

And what did the circuit do?
“As technology developed, planes were able to use telegraph systems to send messages in Morse code. Telegraphs used a plunger to complete an electric circuit.’

Which did what? Flash a lamp? If this was a transmitter radiating an electro-magnetic wave, why not say so? If it was something else, what was it? 2001:8003:3020:1C00:35CB:4CF4:C0A8:CF4E (talk) 07:12, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
