About the author
Henry Paul Stevens Greene wrote aviation stories and novels that appeared from the late 1920s into the 1940s, with work published in magazines such as Wings, Air Stories, Sky Fighters, and Aces. Sources also describe him as a newspaper man, which fits the brisk, readable style of his fiction.
Greene was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on October 28, 1892, and died in 1947. A finding aid for the Henry Paul Stevens Greene Collection at the National Press Club shows that papers connected with his life and work survived there, helping preserve at least part of the record of a writer who is otherwise not widely documented.
Today, he is especially remembered by readers of vintage adventure and air-war fiction. Works such as The Lucky Little Stiff and In the Line of Duty, now available through Project Gutenberg, have helped introduce his stories to a new generation of readers curious about classic pulp-era aviation writing.
