And maybe in the Pacific, too, at least for fighter and torpedo bomber? 
I recall Donald R. Blaney ( SK ) telling me, "We hardly ever used HF....just for code practice in air, or for contact reports on  long distance patrols. "
Right or wrong, he gave me his estimate of range for the ARB - ATC as 400 miles.

>It's unfortunate that ER'z Bruce Vaughn/NR5Q is no longer with us.  He was a radio mechanic in the ETO and could have clarified the usual practise.  (Bruce is the one who told me 20 years ago that the SCR-522-A was incontestably the most used and most important radio set that ever flew in the ETO.  But he said he really hated it when a flight's operating frequencies had to be altered.)
