John Moore-Brabazon (J.T.C. Moore-Brabazon) was elevated to the
peerage in 1942 as Baron Brabazon of Tara. Born in 1884, he was a
distinguished racing-driver, balloonist, and aviator, becoming in
1909 the first Briton to fly in Britain in a heavier-than-air
machine. His autobiography 'The Brabazon Story', which was
published by Heinemann in 1956, will give you some details of his
political career in the 1930's.
