Andrew A. (Andrew Augustine) Caffrey

An American pulp writer and veteran aviator, he wrote aviation and adventure stories from the 1920s into the 1950s. Sources available online connect him with service in the American Air Service in France during World War I and later work in the air mail service, background that helps explain the convincing detail in his flying fiction.

Two of his works are currently listed by Project Gutenberg: Pursuit and Then luck came in. Pursuit is presented there as a World War I aviation story centered on American airmen, discipline, and daring combat missions.

Reliable biographical detail on his wider life appears to be limited in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to remember him chiefly as a writer of airborne adventure whose firsthand knowledge of early military and mail flying gave his stories their energy.
