Robert Leitfred was an author working in many different
genres from aviation and war at the beginning of his career (the early 1930s)
and moving to detective, speculative/weird fiction and general adventure
fiction in the 1940s. He wasn’t a prolific author – close to a hundred stories
in the Fictionmags
index, and biographical details are thin on the ground. What I have here is
a skeleton of the bare facts; hopefully someone can fill in more details later.
