 Robur the Conqueror - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robur The Conqueror (Robur le Conquérant in original French) is a science fiction novel by Jules Verne, published in 1886.
The president and secretary are angry at Robur for kidnapping them and unwilling to admit that the Albatross is a fantastic vessel, or that their notions of "lighter than air" superiority are wrong.
The character of Robur is never developed to the same degree as the similar Captain Nemo and the long sections on the heavier-than-air vs. lighter-than-air debate seem ridiculous to a modern reader.

 Robur the Conqueror by Jules Verne: Chapter XVI. Over the Atlantic
That Robur spent his life in the air on board the aeronef and never came to the ground was impossible.
The cause of this light must have been electricity; it could not be attributed to a bank of fish spawn, nor to a crowd of those animalculae that give phosphorescence to the sea, and this showed that the electrical tension of the atmosphere was considerable.
Sometimes Robur was an ex-minister of the Argentine Republic, sometimes a lord of the Admiralty, sometimes an ex-President of the United States, sometimes a Spanish general temporarily retired, sometimes a Viceroy of the Indies who had sought a more elevated position in the air.

 Robur the Conqueror by Jules Verne 18
When the sun appeared, and Robur had taken his observations, they would know; but although they could not trust to the indications of the compass there was reason to think they were in the Pacific.
On the shore there were no tide-marks, and this tended to confirm Robur in his opinion as to his position for the ebb and flow are almost imperceptible in the Pacific.
Robur might surely have landed on it; if he had not done so it was probably because the ground was uneven and did not offer a convenient spot to beach the aeronef.

If you remember the story, the mysterious Robur introduces himself to the world by fixing his flag in places difficult to reach (without an airship).
