The Flying Man

H. G. Wells

First published January 1895
Type Short Fiction
Length Short Story

First published in the Pall Mall Gazette. Locus attributes it to a December 1893 edition under the title "The Advent of the Flying Man". The Complete Short Story Omnibus attributes it to the 04 January 1895 edition. A search of the The British Newspaper Archive shows the latter attribution to be correct ("The Advent of the Flying Man" is not a story and may not be by Wells. It was reprinted in the Brisbane Courier January 1894).
