Framed Print of Richard Evelyn Byrd entered the United States Naval Academy at the age of 20
Richard Evelyn Byrd entered the United States Naval Academy at the age of 20 and was commissioned in 1912. His passion for the airplane began during World War I when he learned to fly. Subsequently Byrd became a flying instructor for the US Navy. Significant credit must be given Byrd for the present American interest in the south polar regions. His success as a naval aviator and transatlantic flier, along with the North Pole flyover, instilled enough confidence in the public to make them financially assist in the support of his first two Antarctic expeditions. From Byrds first expedition in 1928-30 until 1955, eleven expeditions, excluding the Wilkins-Hearst Expedition, left the United States for Antarctica.
Picture shows: Commander Richard E. Byrd takes observations from an airplane to determine their position. The sextant Byrd is using in the picture is the one he used in his first Arctic Expedition.
