alpha bravo... yankee zulu
One phonetic alphabet circa 1955 is: Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta Echo Foxtrot Golf Hotel India Juliet Kilo Lima Mike November Oscar Papa Quebec Romeo Sierra Tango Uniform Victor Whiskey Xray Yankee Zulu.

I got to thinking about a Little House phonetic alphabet using words/names from LIW history. Off the top of my head, I can give you: Almanzo Bouchie Carrie Dan Edwards Fuller Grace Homestead Ingalls Jack Kitty Laura Mary Nelson Osage Power Quiner Rob Susan Tucker Uncle Violets Xanthophyll Yankee Zog.

I am grateful for spelling bees and Rose's time spent in Albania.
