I am currently (re)reading the Time Life series “Epic of Flight”.   One of
the books mentioned field soldering for repair of the electrical systems
some of the early planes had. Since electricity was not available the
soldering iron was heated in a manner similar to what Mac mentions.     I
will try to find the reference,  but it may be several books ago.

Excellent book series by the way…..   I’ve been trying to keep track of all
references to radios in the early years of aviation…..
