taetris's review against another edition
3.0
This is Richard Byrd's account of the earlier part of his career. He describes what led up to his famous crossing of the North Pole in a plane, describes that feat in detail, talks about his famous Atlantic crossing and describes his plans for an Antarctic expedition.
I found it interesting, as I had not really thought about what used to go into flying in those days. At times, there was a bit too much detail about flying and navigation for my liking.
