velmi zajímavá postava
Když byl v roce 1942 na 2. moskevskou konferenci Winston Churchill nucen cestovat za dosti nekomfortních podmínek na palubě amerického bombardéru B-24 Liberator, uvědomil si stav britského letectví i on. Už v tomto roce tak pověřil svého bývalého ministra dopravy lorda Brabazona (mimochodem <anchor>velmi zajímavá postava</anchor>) vznikem komise, která měla za cíl prozkoumat směr, jakým by se měl britský letecký průmysl orientovat po válce.

He was the first Englishman to pilot a heavier-than-air machine under power in England, and he served as [Minister of Transport](/wiki/Secretary_of_State_for_Transport "Secretary of State for Transport") and [Minister of Aircraft Production](/wiki/Minister_of_Aircraft_Production "Minister of Aircraft Production") during the [Second World War](/wiki/Second_World_War "Second World War").

## Early life

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=John_Moore-Brabazon,_1st_Baron_Brabazon_of_Tara&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Early life")\]

Moore-Brabazon was born in [London](/wiki/London "London") to Lieutenant Colonel John Arthur Henry Moore-Brabazon (1828–1908) and his wife, Emma Sophia née Richards (died 1937). He was educated at [Harrow School](/wiki/Harrow_School "Harrow School") before studying engineering at [Trinity College, Cambridge](/wiki/Trinity_College,_Cambridge "Trinity College, Cambridge"), but did not graduate. He spent university holidays working for [Charles Rolls](/wiki/Charles_Rolls "Charles Rolls") as an unpaid mechanic, and became an apprentice at [Darracq](/wiki/Darracq_and_Company_London "Darracq and Company London") in Paris after leaving Cambridge. In 1907 he won the [Circuit des Ardennes](/wiki/Circuit_des_Ardennes_(motor_racing) "Circuit des Ardennes (motor racing)") in a [Minerva](/wiki/Minerva_(automobile) "Minerva (automobile)").

## Pioneer aviator

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=John_Moore-Brabazon,_1st_Baron_Brabazon_of_Tara&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Pioneer aviator")\]

Moore-Brabazon first flew solo in November 1908 in France in a [Voisin biplane](/wiki/Voisin_1907_biplane "Voisin 1907 biplane"). He became the first resident Englishman to make an officially recognized aeroplane flight in England on 2 May 1909, at Shellbeach on the [Isle of Sheppey](/wiki/Isle_of_Sheppey "Isle of Sheppey") with flights of 450 ft, 600 ft, and 1500 ft. On 4 May 1909, Moore-Brabazon was photographed outside the [Royal Aero Club](/wiki/Royal_Aero_Club "Royal Aero Club") clubhouse Mussell Manor (now Muswell Manor Holiday Park) alongside the [Wright Brothers](/wiki/Wright_Brothers "Wright Brothers"), the [Short Brothers](/wiki/Short_Brothers "Short Brothers"), [Charles Rolls](/wiki/Charles_Rolls "Charles Rolls"), and many other early aviation pioneers. In 1909 he sold the _Bird of Passage_ to [Arthur Edward George](/wiki/Arthur_Edward_George "Arthur Edward George"), who learned to fly in it at the Royal Aero Club's flying-ground at Shellbeach and bought a [Short Brothers](/wiki/Short_Brothers "Short Brothers")-built Wright biplane. A documentary, _A Dream of Flight_, was made in 2009 to celebrate the centenary of his achievement on the Isle of Sheppey.[\[1\]](#cite_note-1)

On 30 October 1909, flying the [Short Biplane No. 2](/wiki/Short_Biplane_No._2 "Short Biplane No. 2"), he flew a circular mile and won a [1,000 pound prize](/wiki/Daily_Mail_aviation_prizes "Daily Mail aviation prizes") offered by the _[Daily Mail](/wiki/Daily_Mail "Daily Mail")_ newspaper. On 4 November 1909, as a joke to prove that [pigs could fly](/wiki/Pigs_fly "Pigs fly"),[\[2\]](#cite_note-CBH-2) he put a small pig in a waste-paper basket tied to a wing-strut of his aeroplane. This may have been the first live cargo flight by aeroplane. With Charles Rolls, he would later make the first ascent in a spherical [gas balloon](/wiki/Balloon_(aircraft) "Balloon (aircraft)"), which had been made in England by the Short brothers.\[ _[citation needed](/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")_\]

On 8 March 1910, Moore-Brabazon became the first person to qualify as a pilot in the United Kingdom and was awarded [Royal Aero Club Aviator's Certificate number 1](/wiki/List_of_pilots_awarded_an_Aviator%27s_Certificate_by_the_Royal_Aero_Club_in_1910 "List of pilots awarded an Aviator's Certificate by the Royal Aero Club in 1910");[\[3\]](#cite_note-12March1910-3) his car also bore the number-plate FLY 1. However, only four months later, his friend [Charles Rolls](/wiki/Charles_Rolls "Charles Rolls") was killed in a flying accident and Moore-Brabazon's wife persuaded him to give up flying.

## First World War

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=John_Moore-Brabazon,_1st_Baron_Brabazon_of_Tara&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: First World War")\]

With the outbreak of war, Moore-Brabazon returned to flying, joining the [Royal Flying Corps](/wiki/Royal_Flying_Corps "Royal Flying Corps") (RFC). He received a special-reserve commission as a second lieutenant (on probation) in the RFC on 2 December 1914, in the appointment of flying officer (assistant equipment officer), and was confirmed in his rank on 11 February 1915.[\[4\]](#cite_note-4)[\[5\]](#cite_note-5)[\[6\]](#cite_note-6) He was promoted to lieutenant on 19 February 1915 and was appointed an equipment officer on 31 March, with the temporary rank of captain.[\[7\]](#cite_note-7)[\[8\]](#cite_note-8) On 1 September 1915, he was promoted to the substantive rank of captain, with a special temporary promotion to major on 18 May 1916.[\[9\]](#cite_note-9)[\[10\]](#cite_note-10)

He served on the [Western Front](/wiki/Western_Front_(World_War_I) "Western Front (World War I)"), where he played a key role in the development of [aerial photography](/wiki/Aerial_photography "Aerial photography") and reconnaissance. On 1 April 1918, when the Royal Flying Corps merged with the [Royal Naval Air Service](/wiki/Royal_Naval_Air_Service "Royal Naval Air Service") to form the [Royal Air Force](/wiki/Royal_Air_Force "Royal Air Force"), Moore-Brabazon was appointed as a [staff officer](/wiki/Staff_officer "Staff officer") (first class) and made a temporary lieutenant-colonel.[\[11\]](#cite_note-11) He was promoted to the substantive rank of lieutenant-colonel in the RAF on 1 January 1919 in recognition of his wartime services, relinquishing his commission that year.[\[12\]](#cite_note-12)

Moore-Brabazon finished the war with the rank of [lieutenant colonel](/wiki/Lieutenant_colonel_(United_Kingdom) "Lieutenant colonel (United Kingdom)"). He was decorated with the [Military Cross](/wiki/Military_Cross "Military Cross") on 1 January 1917,[\[13\]](#cite_note-13) and was also twice [mentioned in despatches](/wiki/Mentioned_in_despatches "Mentioned in despatches"), on 15 October 1915 and on 13 November 1916.[\[14\]](#cite_note-14)[\[15\]](#cite_note-15) He was further decorated as a [Knight of the Legion of Honour](/wiki/Knight_of_the_Legion_of_Honour "Knight of the Legion of Honour") in February 1916.[\[16\]](#cite_note-16)

## Pioneer yachtsman

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=John_Moore-Brabazon,_1st_Baron_Brabazon_of_Tara&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Pioneer yachtsman")\]

In 1934 Moore-Brabazon fitted a gyro-rig to a [Bembridge](/wiki/Bembridge "Bembridge") [Redwing](/wiki/Redwing_(keelboat) "Redwing (keelboat)"), an [Isle of Wight](/wiki/Isle_of_Wight "Isle of Wight") class of yacht that allows and encourages the development of different rigs. The area of the rotating blades complies with the sail area limits of the class and are painted red, also to comply with the class rules.[\[17\]](#cite_note-17) The boat was, and remains, dangerous, but it was probably the first auto-gyro boat.[\[18\]](#cite_note-18) The boat is currently in the collection of the [Classic Boat Museum](/wiki/Classic_Boat_Museum "Classic Boat Museum") at East Cowes, Isle of Wight, and still 'sails'.

## Conservative MP

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=John_Moore-Brabazon,_1st_Baron_Brabazon_of_Tara&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Conservative MP")\]

Moore-Brabazon later became a [Conservative](/wiki/Conservative_Party_(UK) "Conservative Party (UK)") [Member of Parliament](/wiki/Member_of_Parliament_(United_Kingdom) "Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)") (MP) for [Chatham](/wiki/Chatham_(UK_Parliament_constituency) "Chatham (UK Parliament constituency)") (1918–1929) and [Wallasey](/wiki/Wallasey_(UK_Parliament_constituency) "Wallasey (UK Parliament constituency)") (1931–1942) and served as a junior minister in the 1920s. In 1931 and 1932 he served as a member of the [London County Council](/wiki/London_County_Council "London County Council"). He was strongly opposed to war with [Nazi Germany](/wiki/Nazi_Germany "Nazi Germany") and in early 1939, when war seemed imminent, he made contact with [Oswald Mosley](/wiki/Oswald_Mosley "Oswald Mosley") in an attempt to co-ordinate activity against the war.[\[19\]](#cite_note-19)

Despite his earlier anti-war agitation, in [Winston Churchill](/wiki/Winston_Churchill "Winston Churchill")'s [wartime government](/wiki/Coalition_Government_1940%E2%80%931945 "Coalition Government 1940–1945"), he was appointed [Minister of Transport](/wiki/Secretary_of_State_for_Transport "Secretary of State for Transport") in October 1940 and joined the [Privy Council](/wiki/Her_Majesty%27s_Most_Honourable_Privy_Council "Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council"), becoming [Minister of Aircraft Production](/wiki/Minister_of_Aircraft_Production "Minister of Aircraft Production") in May 1941. As the Minister of Transport he proposed the use of [Airgraphs](/wiki/Airgraph#British_'Airgraph' "Airgraph") to reduce the weight and bulk of mails travelling between troops fighting in the Middle East and their families in the UK. He was forced to resign in 1942 for expressing the hope that [Germany](/wiki/Germany "Germany") and the [Soviet Union](/wiki/Soviet_Union "Soviet Union"), then engaged in the [Battle of Stalingrad](/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad "Battle of Stalingrad"), would destroy each other. Since the Soviet Union was fighting the war on the same side as Britain, the hope that it should be destroyed, though common in the Conservative Party, was unacceptable to the war effort.[\[2\]](#cite_note-CBH-2)

## Later life

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=John_Moore-Brabazon,_1st_Baron_Brabazon_of_Tara&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Later life")\]

Moore-Brabazon was elevated to the [House of Lords](/wiki/House_of_Lords "House of Lords") as [Baron Brabazon of Tara](/wiki/Baron_Brabazon_of_Tara "Baron Brabazon of Tara"), of [Sandwich](/wiki/Sandwich,_Kent "Sandwich, Kent") in the County of [Kent](/wiki/Kent "Kent"), in April 1942.[\[20\]](#cite_note-20) In 1943 he chaired the [Brabazon Committee](/wiki/Brabazon_Committee "Brabazon Committee") which planned to develop the post-war British aircraft industry. He was involved in the production of the [Bristol Brabazon](/wiki/Bristol_Brabazon "Bristol Brabazon"), a giant airliner that first flew on 4 September 1949. It was then and still is the largest aeroplane built entirely in Britain although only one example was built and it was a very expensive failure Britain could not afford.

In 1949, when the [House of Lords Yacht Club](/wiki/House_of_Lords_Yacht_Club "House of Lords Yacht Club") was established, Brabazon was its first Commodore.[\[21\]](#cite_note-21)

A keen golfer, Moore-Brabazon was captain of [the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews](/wiki/The_Royal_and_Ancient_Golf_Club_of_St_Andrews "The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews"), the [governing body](/wiki/Sports_governing_body "Sports governing body") of [golf](/wiki/Golf "Golf"), from 1952 to 1953.\[ _[citation needed](/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")_\]
