A little-known writer from science fiction’s magazine era, remembered for stories that appeared in the 1940s and 1950s and for work published under several names.

by Chester Cohen
Chester Cohen was an American science fiction writer associated with the early magazine scene. Bibliographic sources credit him with stories published under his own name as well as the alternate names Chester Coe, Conanight, and Chester B. Conant.
His work is linked to classic pulp-era publications, and Forbidden Flight is one of the titles now preserved by Project Gutenberg. Reliable biographical details about his life appear to be very scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safer to remember him mainly through the fiction he left behind rather than through a well-documented personal history.
