Charles W. (Charles William) Domville-Fife

Born in 1886, Charles W. Domville-Fife appears in major library records as Charles William Domville-Fife. Surviving catalog entries point to a prolific nonfiction career in the early 1900s, with books published on geography, travel, exploration, and military subjects.

His works range widely. Library and collection records credit him with titles on South and Central America, including books on Brazil, Guatemala, and the wider continent, as well as more adventure-driven volumes such as Among Wild Tribes of the Amazons and Savage Life in the Black Sudan. He also wrote several books on undersea technology and naval conflict, including Submarine Warfare of To-day, Submarines and Sea Power, Submarines of the World's Navies, and Submarine Engineering of To-day.

A great deal of basic biographical detail about him is hard to confirm from the sources I found, so it is safest to remember him through his work: a versatile popular author whose books brought distant places and modern machinery to readers of his time.
