John Christopher

John Christopher was trained as a designer but became a professional balloon pilot just over twenty years ago. He now splits his time between flying, working with airships, and writing on all aspects of transportation. This began with a twelve-year stint as the editor of Aerostat, the main ballooning journal, and has led on to the publication of over twenty books... so far. He has preivously written The Zeppelin Story, The London Bus Story and The Apollo Story for The History Press, among many others. When not flying one of his main interests is classic British cars - especially the Aston Martin!
