Info needed: USAAF phrases and codewords
 
I´m looking for info on how US pilots talked to each other and their ground controllers over the radio. The RAF was using certain codewords. For example 'angels 15' meant an altitude of 15k feet.

Anybody knowing the phrases the USAAF used for altitude, speed, course, enemy fighters ect?

If for example a ground controller wanted to vector in fighters for an intercept, what would he have said?

I suspect many of the codewords were the same.
Here is a link to a glossary of many of the terms and abbreviations used.
