In his book 'Flying Minnows' Roger Vee relates how his Flight of Bristol Fighters were fitted with radios.This enabled the Flight Commander to talk to them right up to the moment of engaging the enemy.Then the sixty foot arial cable that was dangling behind each aircraft was rewound on to it's drum.They could then dogfight the Hun without the danger of getting one wrapped round the prop.
