RICHARD E. BYRD
Polar explorer who flew over North and South Poles.
Early Photograph signed: "R.E. Byrd, Jr." B/w with sepia hue, 8x10. Stamped on verso: "Lieut. Com. Byrd U. S. N. Pathe". On May 9, 1926, Byrd 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 all have agreed Byrd thought he had reached the North Pole. In 1929, Byrd established the "Little America" Antarctica base and flew over the South Pole. On his Antarctic expeditions in the 1930s, Rear Admiral Byrd discovered Marie Byrd Land and the Edsel Ford Mountains. Still exploring in his late 60s, he commanded the Operation High Jump (1946-1947) and Operation Deep Freeze (1955-1956) expeditions. Signature slightly smudged. Lightly surface creased with scratches. Impressions from writing on another sheet placed atop photo (barely visible head on) and not touching signature. Ink stamp and pencil notes (unknown hand) on verso. Overall, fine condition.
