Thanks for what is, by far, the longest checklist of Norbert Davis pulp stories I've ever seen. One question about the stories in Detective Tales. Is the date, 4/32, given for "Paroled to Murder" correct?
Best,
John Apostolou

As a big Norbert Davis fan I found your list very helpful. I've been making my own list and have some that were not there. If you don't mind here's my list.
I hope this isn't too annoying.
Your Pal,
Bill

Hello , I am the Grandson Of William J. Flynn of the magazine Flynn's detective weekly. i understand this magazine had a series of issues starting with my Grandfathers picture on the cover in which he wrote his history in the secret service. Do you know anyway I can get copies of those articles, just copies of those articles would be very good. Thank you very much . willsanders@earthlink.net
