J.: After the war, with many aircraft and ground personnel drawn from the allied armed forces, "Able Baker" continued to be used in civil aviation. But many sounds were unique to English, so an alternative "Ana Brazil" alphabet was used in Latin America. But the International Air Transport Association (IATA), recognizing the need for a single universal alphabet, presented a draft alphabet to the ICAO in 1947 which had sounds common to English, French, and Spanish. After further study and modification by each approving body, the revised alphabet was implemented November 1, 1951

Shouldn't "alfa" be spelled alpha? Or am I crazy...

Arby, maybe the "ph" isn't used because it's more common to use "f" for that sound in languages other than English (as in oroboros' explanation). That's what I'd assumed, anyway.
