I am sorry I do not remember it all. It was a method of clearly identifying things so they could be Spelled out without error. There was also ofther codes used for radio traffic, these are the most common and are still widely used today.

The NATO phonetic alphabet, more formally the international radiotelephony spelling alphabet, is the most widely used spelling alphabet.
