Patrick Young Alexander: A Biography

In September 1902, Patrick Alexander made a balloon ascent from Sydney Gardens to commemorate the first Bath balloon flight, 100 years earlier, by Frenchman Andres-Jacques Garnerin.


Alexander was a pioneering balloonist, meteorologist and aeronautical engineer who made a significant contribution to the development of flight.


His 304-page biography, written by Gordon Cullingham and published by Cross Manufacturing, is on sale at the museum for £4.00
