Google leads us to: http://www.hycyber.com/SF/delrey_lester.html
which says (and is confirmed on other sites):
Lester del Rey
Birth name: Ramon Felipe San Juan Mario Silvio Enrico Smith
Heathcourt-Brace Sierra y Alvarez-del Rey de los Verdes
1915 - 1993
So apparently not. I do love old SF though, there's this underlying
atmosphere of what I can only call "Decency". But then I also like Kevin
Jeter & Norman Spinrad so go figure.

Well, "Del Rey" was the imprint that
Ballantine Books sold Sci-Fi/Fantasy
under starting in 1977 (this included Star Wars, as I recall). It looks
like it now belongs to Random House. From their website (couldn't totally
remember the Ballantine name so had to look it up), "It was begun by
editor Judy-Lynn del Rey with editoria assistance of her husband, author and
editor Lester del Rey". Are they the same person?

I noticed on the page he also wrote under the
psuedonym of Lester Del Rey.
For some reason that tweaks my old sci-fi memory, but can't identify it.
As well as his impressive contribution to electronics did he also write
sci-fi ?
