William Tufnell Le Queux was an Anglo-French journalist and writer. He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveller (in Europe, the Balkans and North Africa), a flying buff who officiated at the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909, and a wireless pioneer who broadcast music from his own station long before radio was generally available; his claims regarding his own abilities and exploits, however, were usually exaggerated.

  • William Tufnell Le Queux was an Anglo-French journalist and writer. He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveller (in Europe, the Balkans and North Africa), a flying buff who officiated at the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909, and a wireless pioneer who broadcast music from his own station long before radio was generally available; his claims regarding his own abilities and exploits, however, were usually exaggerated. His best-known works are the anti-German invasion fantasies The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and The Invasion of 1910 (1906), the latter of which was a phenomenal bestseller.
  • William Tufnell Le Queux, né à Londres le 2 Juillet 1864 et décédé le 13 octobre 1927 à Knocke, Belgique, était un écrivain, un journaliste et un correspondant de guerre britannique. Il était aussi diplomate et Consul Honoraire de Saint-Marin. Grand voyageur, il a visité l’Europe, dont les Balkans ainsi que l’Afrique du Nord. Mais il pouvait aussi être considéré comme un pionnier de l’aviation et de la radio. Il a fait partie des organisateurs du meeting aérien de Doncaster en 1909 et a diffusé ses propres émissions musicales bien avant le lancement des grandes radios officielles. Il a reçu une éducation européenne, en Italie et a étudié la peinture en France.
