Al Lowe is correct, at least as far as I know.
On the Italian front things were more complicated, as the field of battle, with so many high mountains, made radio communications more difficult than usual. The aeroplane had to fly from the target to the gun battery, and vice versa, to let the artillery man receiving the wireless apparatus signal correctly and to observe the results carefully.
The most widely used wireless apparatuses on Italian aeroplanes were:
- the Marconi M.N.M. type of 40-60 W, with a range between 15 and 20 km. It was used until mid 1917;
- the T.Av. of 200 W type built by "F.lli Marzi" of Cornigliano Ligure. With a much wider range, this became the standard type until the end of the war.
All the very best.
