To the Pole

Hard Bound Book

The Diary and Notebook of Richard E. Byrd. Byrd & Goerler, ed. First to fly over  the North Pole - or was he? Some have doubted that Byrd actually reached the  North Pole in his 1926 flight. This diary, unearthed in 1994, might be thought to   clear up the matter, but instead it complicates them. Whatever the truth, the  riskiness of polar exploration comes through in Byrd's diary and notes, which  mention coming through storms and icebergs, as well as allude to the fate of  Robert Scott, who perished in the race to the South Pole with Roald Amundsen  (who perished in the race with Byrd to overfly the North Pole). A concluding  section discusses Byrd's competition with Lindbergh to be the first flier across  the Atlantic. 168 pgs., 6"x 9", hdbd.  .....#0005379 2
