About the Author:
Admiral Richard E. Byrd graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1912 and won his wings in 1918 as Naval Aviator 608. Chief of Naval Operations in World War II, Byrd was also a primary leader in polar exploration and scientific researc
From Library Journal:
Byrd's historic polar explorations have overshadowed his other remarkable achievements as a pioneering naval aviator. In this 1928 title, however, the admiral offers his firsthand remembrances of the early days of flying and the evolution of the airplane from flimsy constructions of cloth and wood to metal monsters of the skies. Byrd was there every step of the way, and no aviation collection is complete without his insights.
