About the authors

Henri Lachambre

1846–1904

A pioneering French balloon maker and aeronaut, he helped turn late-19th-century ballooning into a serious craft of engineering and exploration. He is especially remembered for building aircraft for major expeditions, including S. A. Andrée’s ill-fated attempt to reach the North Pole by balloon.
