For some reason, I am having trouble attaching the file here. But I am posting this link so that Brown Hounds might muse over what else was happening around that time.
- Hitler was staking his lebens raum claims across central Europe
- The stranglehold on the Navy's budget for radar development was suddenly released.
- The atomic age would begin that year, with the discovery of nuclear fission later that year.
- The next year, Eisenhower would pen his famous letter to Roosevelt encourage him to pursue research in nuclear chain reactions and warning him that German physicists weren't sleeping on the idea.
But who provided the funding? After all, the Brown family fortune had been lost in the depression....
