Thanks Bruce, that is interesting.; Somewhere I have a pam that lists the differences between the US and British/Australian phonetic alphabet, but I'm yet to locate it (so didn't mention it above). It probably dates from late 41/early 42 based of your comments and that the pam I could readily put my hands on was dated 1942.
Tony: yes, the system has evolved - until standardised by way of NATO for western nations. (Wonder what the Russians and the Chinese use?)
