His return, some eleven months later, caused a worldwide stir as he airmailed himself home and become the first and only person ever to fly the Pacific Ocean in a crate. His story is currently being made into a feature film and is the subject of a BBC Television documentary. In 1962, when air-travel was in its infancy, a nineteen-year-old boy who felt trapped in Melbourne, Australia, made up his mind that he was going to return to his homeland in the United Kingdom. He was prevented from doing so by both lack of documentation and the funds required. Putting an idea to work without the thought of losing his life, he became the first person in history to fly for nearly five days in a crate across the Pacific Ocean. The Author Brian Robson was born in the United Kingdom in June 1945 and has spent most of his adult life travelling and living in various countries throughout Europe and South East Asia.
