This is the biography of Charles Henry Brown, whose obsession with aerostation took him from Great Britain to Australia and India. It highlights the problems pioneer aeronauts faced - they often were viewed as no more than providers of novelty entertainment. Brown's story also reflects aspects of contemporary Victorian society.
