Brian Milton is a British journalist, adventurer and aviation historian who made the first circumnavigation of the world in an ultralight aircraft in 1998.

He was the Founder of the British National League in 1976, designing a competition format and gathering together the top 54 hang glider pilots in the UK.

In October 1978 at Chattanooga, Tennessee, Milton captained the British hang gliding team to victory in the America Cup.

At a height of 250 feet, the wings of the glider collapsed and Milton, unable to open his parachute in time, plummeted to the ground.

On 23 May 2009 issue of the UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph, Milton was named as one of the "Top 20 great British adventurers" still living.
