Arthur C. Clarke receives American pulp magazines Amazing Stories and Astounding Science Fiction from Forrest Ackerman in the United States. Clarke notes in his diary that Willy Ley had already sent Astounding to him. This influx of pulps to Clarke will ultimately lead to him writing his seminal paper on communication satellites in 1945.
