RICHARD E. BYRD
This slip of paper is signed by the explorer who went to the North and South Pole!
Typed Letter Signed: "REByrd" in black ink. 3½x2½. On May 9, 1926, RICHARD E.
BYRD (1888-1957) and Floyd Bennett became the first to fly over the North Pole. Both
were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Scholars have raised questions about
whether or not Byrd actually reached the North Pole, but it is generally accepted that he
succeeded. In 1929, Byrd established the "Little America" Antarctica base and flew
(indisputably) over the South Pole. He was promoted to Rear Admiral upon his return in
1930. On his Antarctic expeditions in the 1930s, Byrd discovered Marie Byrd Land and the
Edsel Ford Mountains. Still exploring in his late 60s, he commanded Operation High Jump
(1946-1947) and Operation Deep Freeze (1955-1956). Toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
