Bruce M. Bailey, (born August 10, 1935), is an American author and humorist who also used the pen name of R. Adam Solo. Bailey's original name was Marion Bruce Bailey, but he was called "Bruce" by family and friends. Upon entering the military, he was informed that he would be addressed by his first name, not middle name or a nickname. He immediately proceeded to the local court house and officially changed his name to Bruce Marion Bailey. Bruce spent a career in the military flying reconnaissance missions, and upon retiring turned to writing.
