Look in the Airman's Information Manual.

(by the way, it is Alpha, Bravo, Charlie,...  the old sU.S.Army
style of Adam, Baker, Charlie, is obsolete and used only by wierd
people like California police.

My Felthensal E6B computer has this plus the morse code stamped
above the alpha, bravo, etc.

My secret code ring has the E6B computer built in, plus Alfa, beta,
cookamonga...etc., and low altitude charts for the entire world, a
whistle in case my radio fails in IFR.......

C'mon guys, the fella was just asking for the phonetic alphabet, not
a guide to weight and balance on a B-747.. Any good pilot knows where
to research common information, we've all been there.

  If the Airman's Information Manual is too unwieldy, you could
look on the Jeppesen United States Low Altitude Flight Planning
Chart.  It also has all sorts of other useful information, such
as a sample flight plan form, and light gun signals.  If you do
not get these, you might get a copy from someone who is updating
their charts and replacing it.
