Probably helped me copy cypher groups in the Navy, though.

On May 8, 1911 Captain Washington I. Chambers prepared requisitions for
two Curtiss biplanes. One, the Triad, was to be equipped for arising
from or alighting on land or water; with a metal tipped propeller
designed for a speed of at least 45 miles per hour; with provisions for
carrying a passenger alongside the pilot; and with controls that could
be operated by either the pilot or the passenger. The machine thus
described later became the Navy's first airplane, the A-1. On July 1,
1911 the A-1 was delivered to the Navy.

The Naval Aircraft Factory opened in 1917 on the Philadelphia Naval
Base property and eventually morphed into the Naval Air Engineering
Center where I landed coming out of school in 1963. I stayed aboard
for six years and had a blast. I got stories . . !

How to prove prior ham license ??

Herbert Fischer would like to show that he held a valid ham license (WN1UYH)
in 1954 that required the 5 wpm code proficiency. Without the actual
license, is there a way to prove he held the license? (Maybe a copy of the
old CallBook page with his call would work?)

All suggestions welcomed.

His QSL card collection from those days would at least be in the right direction.
