Herbert C. Fyfe

Herbert C. Fyfe was a British magazine writer active around the turn of the 20th century. Wikisource identifies him as a contributor to The Strand Magazine in 1899, and surviving articles linked to his name show a strong interest in science, invention, and military technology.

His bylines appear on pieces about subjects such as flying machines, X-rays in warfare, flying bullets, sound recording, exploration, and other scientific novelties. He is best known today for Submarine Warfare, Past, Present, and Future (later issued as Submarine Warfare, Past and Present), a book that helped introduce general readers to the history and possibilities of undersea combat.

Biographical details about Fyfe himself are scarce, so most of what can be said with confidence comes from his publications rather than from full personal records. Even so, his writing offers a clear picture of an author fascinated by modern technology and eager to explain emerging ideas to a wide audience.
