109 Gustav Posted September 3, 2000 Share Posted September 3, 2000 Does anyone know how the phonetic alphabet used in WWII goes? I think it starts with Able, Baker, something, Dog... I don't mean the one used today (alfa, bravo, charlie...). ------------------ There is nothing certain about war except that one side won't win. -Ian Hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible that the Commonwealth used 'Sunray' instead of 'Sugar' or was that a term for the commander only? Keith Jones and Ken Tout use that one a lot. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
