Biographical NoteElliott Arnold was born September 13, 1912, in New York City to parents
Jack and Gertrude Frank Arnold. He attended college at CCNY and NYU. He began
his writing career while in college, as a reporter at the Brooklyn Times. He
wrote his first novel Two Loves at 18 years old. In 1932 he started writing for
the NY World Telegram. During his time there he wrote Personal Combat, Only the
Young, Finlandia, and The Commandos. Soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor he
enlisted in the army and was assigned to the Army Air Corps. He helped in the
collaboration of two official air histories, Mediterranean Sweep and Big
Business. After four years in the military he was awarded the Bronze Star Metal
by General MacArthur and was discharged with the rank of captain.
Elliott Arnold then went on to be a prolific writer of novels, short
stories, and articles. His novels include; Blood Brothers, Time of the Gringo,
Flight from Ashiya, A Night of Watching, The Proving Ground, and the Camp Grant
Massacre. Many of his short stories and articles have appeared in Playboy,
Reader's Digest, and Colliers. A number of his works went on to become screen
plays. In 1950 Broken Arrow, based on his novel Blood Brothers was released by
Twentieth Century-Fox, and in 1964, A Flight from Ashiya was released by United
Artists.
During his lifetime Arnold had been acknowledged for numerous awards
including: the Commonwealth Club of California Silver Medals in 1948, for Blood
Brother, in 1960, for Flight from Ashiya, and in 1968, for A Night of Watching,
and the Screen Writers Guild prize for Broken Arrow, in 1951. Elliott Arnold
died May 13, 1980, in New York City.
