Difficult question to answer correctly, as it varied with the different areas of the spectrum.
Most aircraft had MF/HF radios for long range work and VHF for short range Air to ground comms.
Morse was mostly used on the MF/HF band. The TR1154/55 which was fitted to almost all of the big bombers, had voice capability but it was advisable not to use it for a long period of time, as it tended to blow the transmit valves!
