Paul H. Brown first went to the British Solomon Islands Protectorate in July 1958 and was based in Honiara for 19 years. He helped to establish Solomon Island Airlines, SOLAIR, growing the business from two bush aircraft to a fleet and introduced flights to Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu. He was involved in many areas of tourism and travel in the Solomon Islands.

Brown was initially asked by Ian Wotherspoon and Trevor Clark to contribute a chapter on early planters and traders and another on the development of the internal air service to a publication on the British Solomon Islands Protectorate prior to independence in July 1978. (See correspondence from Trevor Clark re: De bilong mi in PMB1365/46). However, the work was never published. Brown later edited his chapters and added more information to create Taem bilong iume.
