BYRD BECOMES AUTHOR AND OUTLINES HIS HOPES OF CONQUERING SOUTH POLE Aviator’s Book Also Tells Story of His Flights Over Arctic and Atlantic Oceans in Giant Planes. 2 York, March 30.—(UP)— Commander Richard E. Byrd, U. S. who in 1926 flew with Floyd nnett to the North Pole; last year lew to France; and now seeks to fly to the South Pole, tells the story of his adventurous career and of his future hopes in a book which he calls “Skyward,” published today by G. P. Putnam’s Sons. Byrd terms the South Pole the last challenge” to the explorer and the flyer and expresses his deter- mination to meet the challenge. He reveals that it is his plan to sail with his party in September of 1his year, and by the first week in January, 1929, hopes to be in Ross where the base will be estab- lished. He will take one large mono- plane and two smaller planes, to be ised in the explorations. Floyd Ben- nett will be his second in command. The main base probably will be on the Bay of Whales on the Ross lce Barrier or eclse at Discovery Harbor, on the opposite side of the Parrier. Amundsen based at the Bay Whales for his trip to the South » while Scott used Discovery Bay. Our base, then, will probably be ablished on snow-covered ice,” yrd writes. “This will be about the me thing as camping on a station- | rv iceberg. It does not seem (I thing, but I beleve it Must Be Self-Sustaining “There is no place where one can zet so far from human life,” Byrd writes. 300 miles from the nearest human lling. 1t must be a sef-sustaining le of maintaining itself in- without outside help, be- 10 spend the | tie night, or ir our ship should t injured in the ice, there is no iling how long we might have no Eskimo dogs, some of now being trained by Arthur ‘Walden, Wonalancet, N, 11, will be a part of the equipment. Most of these dogs will come from Gireenland or northern Canada. Caterpillar fractors also will be a part of the main base equipment. We hope to finish the mission of our expedition during the Antarctic ummer, which will last until about March 1st,” Dyrd writes. “That vould give us about two months for eperations. Will Flave Sub-Rases Sub-bases will be established on 1w ice-barrier between the main buse and the Pole. ‘In a forced landing in any kind weather within 500 miles from ihe base, there would be a chance of getting back with bhases down very 100 miles,” Byrd writes. “Without them there would be no chance, . . Oy the final flight to e Pole the flying done after the last base is passed will be hazardous, of course, because should there be & which are “Our base will be at least | ! forced landing with the planes out of | | commission, our ability to return to | the nearest base would be very far | from a certainty.” | The plane to be used in the final | |flight will have to be able to litt its | {load to an altitude of 20,000 feet as | |the Pole itself is on a great ice plateau, 10,000 fect above sea level. | 1t is possible, Byrd reveals, that | a team of Eskimo dogs and a small sled wili be carried in the plane | When the final flight is made. The expedition will n many photographs and its scientists will |study not only the atmospheric com- ditions, the ice barrier, and the cur- rents, but also the geology of the mountain peaks expected to be en- countered; and will scarch for living things, plant or animal, of which there seems to be but little in those parts of “Antarctica” thus far | known. : May Find Minerals “With airplane cameras we should be able to gét photographs of rocky | peaks, the sides of which owing to [their vertical position, are naked,” | Byrd writes. *'This will give an |curate geological section, even more accurate than could be obtained by a foot traveler. It is possible that | mineral deposits might be located. | “How great it will be.” Byrd con- |cludes his discussion of the south polar trip, “looking down into tens |of thousands of square miles of re |gion never hefore looked upon by | Luman beings, so far as we kno “I must admit too that altho the primary object of the cxpedition |is scientific, #* will be most gratify- {ing if we succeed in planting the American flag at the south pole.” | However, B.xd only devotes one |chapter of his fascinating story to |the south polar flight. In the re- {mainder of the hook-he tells a stir- {ring story of a lif: of adventure, Escapes { | He reveals ho. hio planned during | the war to fly a seaplane from the | United States to Europe, believing it | |was worth the effort for the moral | ct it would have, and how this | | plan, frustrated by the armistice, de- | {veloped into the flight of the “Nancy” planes to Europe. | He tells of his own bitter disap- | pointment when he was not permit- {ted to go on the “Nancy" flight; then how he was given permission to fly to Europe on a dirigible bal- loon only to sce the balloon swept way, without a crew and lost the he was to have hoarded it.| | Again he was assigned to fly with | {the ZR-2 from England to the | United States, He arrived in England | to joint the ZR-2 but missed his |train for Howden and arrived thera too late to join the ship in its first |big preliminary flight. That flight was its last, for it exploded in air over the Humber and most of those | |aboara died. | Byrd describes in vivid fashion | | his flight to the North Pole and the | |adventurous flight last summer to | | Paris. | From time to time he digresses to pay generous complinients to Floyd Bennett, his pilot, and to oth- | | ers assoelateq with him. He defends well thourht out and well-prepared flights, dangerous as Ithey may be, as plonecring without | Narrc NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1928 which there can be no progress and | French Note Broader ‘ foresees for the near future regu- In SCODO Concerning War lar trans-Atlantic the air.
