Fleetway Pocket Library authors

The following list contains the names of as many of the scriptwriters who contributed to Fleetway's pocket libraries, including War, Battle, Air Ace, Love Story, True Life, Thriller, Cowboy, Super Detective and Schoolgirls. The few records available often covered only a part of the lifetime of each of these titles, so the listing is certainly incomplete.

  1. Another name to add to your list is Bill Reid, layout artist and bodger. He was Father of the Chapel(Foc)of the NUJ in the 1960s and often haunting the corridors of Old and New Fleetway!
    This is from Terry Magee(formerly in Chelmsford, now in the Basque Country). Hi, Steve - hope you are well!

  2. Hi Terry,

    Good to hear from you - I wondered where you'd got to! Perhaps you could drop me a line at the address below the photo (top left). I know Bill Reid worked on Buster but didn't know he'd started on the pocket libraries.
