I miss the history channel, we are off the dish to save a few bucks. There was a reenactment of sorts recently on TV of how the first airplanes were used in battle to guide artillery. Transmitters were used but no receivers as they were too heavy.

Just a few days ago there was a show on a tank restoration in England. I believe it was the Sherman, anyway they cut part of a tank in half, through the circle, and welded it to another shell. It was the cast steel section 1 1/4" thick. The welder remarked that it welded back together like butter with the mig, making the point of the purity of the steel back then. Phil
