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, that have been covered up from the
public. 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. See the gene Decode series on Admiral Byrd.
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 (1938). What Byrd found was
kept from you by the cabal. See
