Arthur McFly was the father of George McFly. He lived on Sycamore Street with George and his wife Sylvia. When he was 16, he enlisted in the army and was sent to France during World War I before they realized how young he was. He came back without firing a single shot.^[1]

When Marty convinced George to talk to him about attending college, he gave George a number of excuses and reasons not to attend, particularly due to his own inability to be anything.^[2]

[edit] Behind the scenes

Arthur might be visible in the photo of William McFly that Marty finds in the book A History of Hill Valley, 1850-1930. However, if Arthur was born in 1902, William would only have been 17 at the time.
