Roman Frederick Starzl
Roman Frederick Starzl (1899–1976) was an American writer. He, and earlier, his father (John V. Starzl), owned the ''Le Mars Globe-Post'' newspaper of Le Mars, Iowa. Roman Frederick was also the father of physician Thomas E. Starzl. His writing is largely forgotten now, but he was called a "master" by the pioneer of space operaE. E. Smith. Starzl's Interplanetary Flying Patrol, in ''The Hornets of Space'', may have influenced Smith's Galactic Patrol. There is an extensive interview with Thomas Starzl about his father in Eric Leif Davin's ''Pioneers of Wonder''.
