RICHARD E. BYRD
Large Photograph signed: "Best wishes/R.E. Byrd." Sepia, 10x13 overall, 9x12 image (one surface). Byrd, who entered the United States Naval Academy at the age of 20, learned to fly during World War I. Flying early seaplanes without the benefit of visual landmarks led him to experiment with a number of navigational aids. As a result of his success, Byrd was called upon to plan the 1919 transatlantic flights of the U.S. Navy Flying Boats NC1, NC3 and NC4. In 1926, Byrd and Floyd Bennett made their historic flight over the North Pole, resulting in Byrd's promotion to Commander and an outpouring of public support for his expeditions to Antarctica. He was promoted to Rear Admiral shortly after his first flight over the South Pole. Lightly worn edges, else fine condition.
