This alphabet dates from about 1955 and is approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization, the FAA and the International Telecommunication Union. The alphabet above is from the Cambridge Encyclopedia of Language. An alphabet with Alfa X-ray can be found in The U.S. Department of Defense Dictionary of Military Terms.
So next time you spell a word spell it phonetically. For Example: If you have to spell Rohit you need to spell it as:
R for Romeo
O for Oscar
H for Hotel
I for India
T for Tango
Please take time and go through it. I am sure it will help everyone.
Cheers,
Dinesh
