FORBES, Alexander

FORBES, Alexander
(1882-?)
   US writer whose sf novel, The Radio Gunner (1924), depicts a future WAR set in 1937 between Northern Europe, in alliance with the USA, and the Constantinople Coalition. AF's predictive powers were poor and his eponymous hero, who knows how to locate radios, fails to enthrall.
