Assuming both authors are American, and I did see several works by Holland Smith in the copyright renewals (although that's no guarantee it's this Holland Smith), I couldn't find Coral and Brass in either the
Stanford Copyright Renewal Database (for works published from 1923 to 1950) or the
Library of Congress Copyright Renewal Database (1950 - 1964). If so, it's quite likely this is in the public domain.
