=====
G Peyton Wertenbaker (1907-1968) was a US author and editor, one of the pioneers of Hugo Gernsback's development of "Scientifiction" (science fiction.) His first story, written when he was fifteen, "The Man from the Atom" (August 1923 Science and Invention) appeared in the special "scientifiction" issue of Gernsback's premier science magazine and concerns an invention that allows a man to grow so vast and so quickly that he moves beyond into the macrocosm and is unable to return to Earth. His further adventures are told in "The Man from the Atom (Sequel)" (May 1926 Amazing), the first new story published in Amazing Stories.
Wertenbaker wrote only five science fiction stories before turning to novel writing and editing. He served on the editorial board of Fortune magazine from 1933 to 1938, and became a contributing editor to Time Magazine in 1939. In 1950 he became involved with the fledgling Aerospace industry, returning to some degree to his first love. In 1958 he joined NASA as a speechwriter, eventually becoming chief historian of the Aerospace Medical Division.
