Free Life (balloon)
''Free Life'' was the name of the ill-fated Rozière balloon (registration N2079) that made the fourth attempt at crossing the Atlantic Ocean. The balloon was launched from East Hampton, New York on 20 September 1970, piloted by Malcolm Brighton, with Rodney Anderson and Pamela Brown on board.〔(Balloon Life: The Magazine for Hot Air Ballooning )〕〔(Richard Cawsey’s website )〕
==Background==
The adventure was thought up by Rodney Anderson and his wife, Pamela Brown. Pamela Brown was the actress daughter of Kentucky politician and attorney John Y. Brown, Sr. and the sister of Kentucky Fried Chicken entrepreneur and future Kentucky Governor John Y. Brown Jr. At age 28, she and her 32-year-old husband, commodities broker Rod Anderson, hoped to break records with the first manned balloon flight across the Atlantic. The couple planned to recoup the cost of the venture by writing a book about their experience.〔(Actors Theatre of Louisville website )〕 When the pilot whom they had been counting on for the flight withdrew late in the game, the Andersons hired Englishman Malcolm Brighton, 32, whose ascent in the ''Free Lif''e was to be his 100th - and his last.〔(The New York Times, “The Day a Dream From Springs Crashed” by Mary Cummins, published: January 22, 1995 )〕 Malcolm Brighton had built several balloons and became the main builder for the Bristol Belle, the name given to the first modern hot air balloon in Europe.〔(Bristol UWE News, Issue date: 16 November 2001 )〕
