Bradley Fiske

Rear Admiral Bradley Allen Fiske (1854-1942) was an officer in the United States Navy who came to be recognized as a technical innovator. During his long career, Fiske invented many electrical and mechanical devices, with both Naval and civilian uses, and wrote extensively on technical and professional issues. One of the earliest to understand the revolutionary possibilities of naval aviation, he wrote a number of books of important effect in gaining a wider understanding of the modern Navy by the public.

He served during the Spanish-American War.
