A major event in technical history occurred in 1910, when the first air-to-ground radio communication from a heavier-than-air aircraft took place. So far as the author has been able to discover, this event and the subsequent developments in the pre-valve era do not seem to have been extensively studied. This is particularly noticeable concerning the technology employed and the underlying rationale for the choices. The introduction of radio in airplanes was important initially because of the impact it had on the development of aviation and the use of artillery in World War One. These matters are considered in the paper. (21 pages)
