About the author
Very little has been firmly documented about this writer, and even standard reference sources note that the name may be pseudonymous. What can be confirmed is that Edwin Green is credited with at least two aviation adventures for young readers: Air Monster (1932) and Secret Flight (1933), both centered on the giant dirigible Goliath.
These books belong to the tradition of early 20th-century boys' adventure fiction, mixing suspense, new technology, and a strong sense of excitement about air travel. Air Monster has remained accessible through Project Gutenberg, which has helped keep Green's work in circulation for modern readers interested in vintage science fiction and aviation stories.
Because biographical details are so scarce, the books themselves are the clearest window into the author: energetic plots, futuristic aircraft, and the thrill of imagined flight just ahead of its time.
