Edwin Douglas Cartland (July 20, 1914 - July 29, 2002)[1] was a male United States international table tennis player.[2]
He won three bronze medals at the World Table Tennis Championships; two at the 1949 World Table Tennis Championships in the men's team and in the men's doubles with Dick Miles.[3][4] His third bronze came in 1952 at the 1952 World Table Tennis Championships in the men's doubles with Marty Reisman.
After Cartland and Reisman received a bronze medal, they spent months playing matches in Asia in order to raise funds to travel back to Japan and get a rematch.[5]
He was inducted into the US Table Tennis Hall of Fame in 1984 and in 1953 the Barnes Sports Library published his book called 'Table Tennis Illustrated'.[6]
