1942 ORIGINAL ARCHIVE OF PAPERS RELATED TO THE EDUCATION OF A NAVY RADIO ENGINEER AND INTELLIGENCE OFFICER AT THE NEWLY OPENED HARVARD NAVAL TRAINING SCHOOL WHO WE BELIEVE GOES ON TO A NOTED CAREER AS AN AUTHOR AND EXPERT ON MARYLAND MARITIME HISTORY

Good+. 1942. On offer is an absolutely super archive and significant historical group  of typed and manuscript papers, mostly original, copies pertaining to  official Navy memos and documents relating to the education received by  Lieutenant Alexander C. Brown C-V(S) USNR of Alexandria Virginia at the  newly created and opened [July 1st 1942] Harvard Naval Training School.  [We note: There is a fascinating and very strong likelihood this Lt. Brown  could very well be renowned and prolific author Alexander Crosby Brown of  Maryland maritime tales and non fiction but we cannot make the final  connection.] This group is significant on a number of levels. While the  earliest date we find in a document dated September 1942 titled Memo 48.  Most of the other materials likely come before that date and thusly this  archive reveals the very complex education in radio engineering and  foreign intelligence as evidenced by a portion of the papers called  Correspondence Course in Foreign Intelligence with other sections headed  Codes and Ciphers, Tactics, Radio Engineering, Charts and even a Hints to  Newcomers memo. The papers are all loose with hints of having once been in  binders or duo tangs thusly we cannot attest to whether the 3 inch stack  of papers is complete though it does appear very comprehensive.
