There are many Bradys. This author may easily be some other man.
I don't know why the Marines banned officers carrying their own sidearms. Marine pilots and other aircrew did have S&W .38 revolvers, mostly leftover Victory Models from WW II. Navy and Marine airmen carried those well into the Vietnam War and maybe later. Many were also furnished to the USAF in those years

My aircrews carried pretty much what they wanted as far as sidearms went. The ground side of the house is a bit different as far as personal weapons go. S&W revolvers were normal issue for the aircrew that did not have their own to carry.
