Richard Byrd, 1888-1957,
American explorer, author, aviator,
and naval officer, known for leading several air and land expeditions to
Antarctica, and for discoveries there. Richard Byrd was born in Winchester,
Virginia. He was graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1912.
On May 9, 1926, American explorer Richard Byrd flew over the North Pole
in a plane piloted by Floyd Bennett. The men began their journey in Spitsbergen
(now Svalbard), a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Taken in Spitsbergen
before the flight, this photograph shows Byrd holding a specially designed
helmet. In 1927 Byrd flew the first transatlantic airmail from New York
to France with Norwegian American Bernt Balchen and Americans Bertrand
B. Acosta and George O. Noville. During his first expedition to Antarctica,
from 1928 to 1930, Byrd established a base, Little America, on the Bay
of Whales. Many other trip experiences mark his life as an adventurer.
In 1955 Byrd was appointed
head of "Operation Deep-Freeze," an Antarctic expedition organized by the
United States in connection with the International Geophysical Year (1957-1958).
Early in 1956 Byrd made his third flight over the South Pole. He left the
expedition shortly thereafter. Byrd wrote.Skyward.(1928),
Little
America.(1930),.Discovery
(1935),.Exploring with Byrd (1937), and.Alone
