(November 6, 1919 – December 1991)

Herbert Charles 'Bert' Barton was a fan and apparently pro from Birmingham, UK active in the 1940s and 1950s. He was the founder of the The Birmingham Science Fiction Club in 1949 and an article in the Evening Despatch of Wednesday, October 8, 1952, described his role as organiser of the group and also said that he 'writes modern space-fiction under various pen-names.' Sadly, to date nobody has been able to identify what those pennames were.

He is not listed in Ron Bennett's Directory of Science Fiction Fandom for 1955.
