Edward Cooper Callahan was born in Dallas, Texas, on August 11 1906. He attended Fremont High School, Oakland, California, and has advanced instruction at the University of California, Extension Division, and Lincoln University, San Francisco. Prior to entering Naval Service, he was employed by the Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company, 1924-1929, and until 1941 was Broadcast Engineer for the National Broadcasting Company, Stations KGO and KPO, San Francisco. During this period he was a member of the Volunteer Communication Reserve in the Twelfth Naval District, serving first as a Radio Operator and later as Officer in Charge of Unit One, Section One, Oakland, California.
Ordered into active naval service, as a Naval Reserve officer, he reported in June 1941 as radio Officer and Communications officer on board USS Minneapolis. While aboard that heavy cruiser he saw action during the Battles of Midway, the Eastern Solomons and Tassafaronga and in the invasion of Guadalcanal. Between 1942 and 1044 he had consecutive duty as Staff Communications Officer, Task Force Sixty-five, Air, Solomon Islands and Fleet Air Command, South Pacific Area, he received two Letters of Commendation with authorization to wear the Commendation Ribbon and Bronze Star.
He was next assigned as Electronics Training Officer at the Naval Air Technical Training Command, Chicago, Illinois and Pensacola, Florida. In 1946 he participated in the A-Bomb Test at Bikini as Officer in Charge of Radio Broadcast Facilities on the staff of Commander Joint Task Force One.
Released from active duty late in 1946, he returned to radio work and was associated with the West Central Broadcasting Company, Station Week, Peoria, Illinois. Again reporting for active naval service, this time as a US Navy Officer, he was assigned in November 1947 as Project Control Officer in the Bureau of Aeronautics, Navy Department.
He attended the 1950-1951 course at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, Washington, DC after which he was Deputy Director, later Director, of the Aeronautical Electronics and Electrical Laboratory at the Naval Air Development Center, Johnsville, Pennsylvania. In the summer of 1953 he was ordered to the Bureau of Aeronautics, to serve as Head of the Electronics Design Branch and from September 1955 as Assistant Director of the Electronics Division, now known as the Avionics Division.
