Flight to the South Pole: The New Age of Antarctic Exploration and Research, 1979

From August 1928 to June 1930, Richard Byrd led an expedition to the Antarctic with 83 men, four ships, and three airplanes. On November 28-29, 1929, Byrd and three crewmates made the first flight over the South Pole. Byrd's expedition was remembered in the opening pages of this 1979 booklet on then-current scientific efforts by the U.S. Antarctic Research Program.
