This one came in today as well. Great condition and named to Rear Admiral Charles Lynn Strain, who served in the Pacific during World War II as a senior officer with the Navy Construction Battalions (the "Seabees").

I love the "old school" look of the blue covers, and that one is a real beauty. Thanks for posting,
Justin B.
