[ARC5] WW II Radio Question

[W6ph at aol.com]

Very interesting info about WW II radios.  The military historians may be 
able to answer this question.  Were there any communications between ground units 
and attack aircraft similar to the role of a ground FAC (forward air 
controller)?  My conclusion is that targets were ground briefed before the mission and 
very little air to ground comm to the airborne planes for targetting.  If 
there was, what radios or comm mode was used?  Thanks.  Kurt, W6PH
