Staring in 1940 most new USN aircraft started using the ARA/ATA system ( how long it took to upgrade existing aircraft I don't know), later in the war they started using the AN/ARC-5 series radios and they remain the standard for the early post-war years. The only internet reference I could find on the fly was this link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/ARC-5 |
