Best Answer

At the time of World War 1, radios were large and bulky. Eventually some radios were installed on aircraft but very few airplanes had them. So there were no walkie-talkie radio's.

BTW, the term Walkie-Talkie was used to describe the radio that an infantryman could place on his back and carry into the field. He talked on it using a handset much like a telephone.

Whereas at Handie-Talkie was a hand-held, one-piece radio that looked much like the early Motorola Cell Phones from the 1980's. However, most people refer to this portable radio as a Walkie-Talkie.
