Description

This mid 20th century US History photo features Richard Byrd in his flight jacket. Despite the conquest of the South Pole in 1911, much of the interior was yet to be discovered, till 1929 when Richard Byrd reignited the popular interest in the region when he conducted the first flight over the pole. Subsequently Byrd established five US bases in Antarctica, named Little Americas I-V, and led US research on the continent till his death in 1957.
