WWII Phonetic Alphabet
« on: June 26, 2011, 12:00:29 PM »
Would someone with such knowledge of the phonetic alphabet of WWII, be so kind as to review the link I have provided
and let me know if the WWII section is correct.  All I really need is phonetics for N,S,E and W.
But I'd like to know the rest for future reference.

Thanks

The link in the OP shows  Negat (Nan), Sugar, Easy, William.
Which did they use in WWII?

My guess is the ones I gave are more modern.  My dad was a grunt in WWII and I remember him talking about Easy company and Dog company. I've heard Sugar used as well.  Don't know about N though.

WWII phonetic was the Able, Baker, Charlie alphabet....Negat, Sugar, Easy, William is correct.    November, Sierra, Echo, Whiskey is the current phonetic.

supposedly, the navy used some differences...affirm = able...nan = negat...int = item...oboe = option...prep = peter.
