Extract

The Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service, which were combined in 1918 to form the Royal Air Force, both ended the First World War with radio communication by telegraphy and telephony between aircraft and ground stations and between actual aircraft.

The equipment to achieve this was the result of research and development carried out for the Royal Flying Corps at various military establishments such as the Signals Experimental Establishment at Woolwich and for the Royal Naval Air Service, first at Eastchurch, Isle of Sheppey, and latterly at Cranwell.
