Did any fanzines publish notices of Art Wilson's death in 1984? I have not found one and would appreciate any information being posted to the entry.

I've found numerous references to Art Wilson via Google by searching on "Air America" and "shower shoes". The death date came from a site for helicopter pilot veterans of the war in Vietnam. Another source said that Wilson started as a pilot in WWII with the Flying Tigers. He apparently flew cargo support for the French forces at Dien Bien Phu, shortly before the end of that battle.

He was listed as a member 157 in the second Solacon Progress Report (1958).

In CRY in 1969 F.M. Busby wrote that Art Wilson was at Westercon that year.

I've not seen any of Art Wilson's zines.

Descriptions of Art Wilson suggest a character out of Terry and the Pirates, which is probably unfair to either side of the comparison.
