Question: Carleton B. Swift Jr was an officer of Office of Strategic Services, an active agency during which time?
Context: The Strategic Services Unit was an intelligence agency of the United States government that existed in the immediate post–World War II period.  It was created from the Secret Intelligence and Counter-Espionage branches of the wartime Office of Strategic Services. William Joseph ("Wild Bill") Donovan (January 1, 1883 – February 8, 1959) was an American soldier, lawyer, intelligence officer and diplomat.  Donovan is best remembered as the wartime head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency, during World War II.  He is also known as the "Father of American Intelligence" and the "Father of Central Intelligence".  "The Central Intelligence Agency regards Donovan as its founding father," according to journalist Evan Thomas in a 2011 "Vanity Fair" profile.  The lobby of CIA headquarters, in Langley, Virginia, now features a statue of Donovan.  Thomas observed that Donovan's "exploits are utterly improbable but by now well documented in declassified wartime records that portray a brave, noble, headlong, gleeful, sometimes outrageous pursuit of action and skulduggery."

The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was a wartime intelligence agency of the United States during World War II, and a predecessor of the modern Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Other OSS functions included the use of propaganda, subversion, and post-war planning. Toyon Bay is located on Catalina Island off the coast of California.  Originally inhabited by a group of natives called Pipi Mari (or Pimugnans), and the Torqua, after whom a nearby spring is named.  In the early 1900s, it was the site of a boys' boarding school.  During World War II, the boys were evacuated and the facility was turned into an Office of Strategic Services training camp.  Chinese and American men were trained in guerrilla warfare for use behind Japanese lines in China.  The Office of Strategic Services was the precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency.  After the war, it saw time as a boarding school, a singing camp, resort in the 50's and was later abandoned.

A Guggenheim Fellowship funded travel in Europe in 1937.  During World War II, Finney served in the Office of Strategic Services, and received a Purple Heart and a Certificate of Merit.
