Courtney Bradford

Warning Spoilers through Straits of Hell. Courtney Bradford was an Australian engineer working for Royal Dutch Shell in Java. When the Japanese threatened to capture Western interests in 1942, he was evacuated on board USS Walker.

Bradford was aboard Walker when she transited to the alternate Earth. His skills as an amateur naturalist proved helpful to Lieutenant Commander Matthew Reddy and his crew when strange species were encountered.

Bradford was late for a speech by Governor-Emperor Gerald McDonald and escaped being killed by an explosion caused by the Holy Dominion.
