How did the term "Roger Wilco, Over and Out" get started? Is this just a
term
from the old sci-fi and war "B" movies?


Wilco is an abbreviation for Will Comply.


In telegraphy, "R" was/is a quick response meaning "received."
My understanding has been that "Roger" was the carryover phone
version of "R".
