About the author
William Lockwood Marsh (1886–1963) was a British aviation writer, editor, and military officer whose published work focused on the history and technology of flight. Public-domain library records connect him with A History of Aeronautics, written with Evelyn Charles Vivian, a book that introduced readers to the development of aviation from early legends to modern flying.
Later in his career, he became an important figure in aerospace publishing. Obituary and journal records identify him as Lieutenant-Colonel William Lockwood Marsh, O.B.E., and describe him as the founder editor of Aircraft Engineering, a journal he launched in 1929 and guided until his retirement in 1962.
Reliable biographical detail on his personal life appears to be limited online, but the available sources consistently show a lifelong commitment to documenting and explaining aeronautics for both specialist and general readers.
