Summary
[edit]DescriptionFokker Universal Byrd Expedition Antarctica 1929.jpg | A Fokker "Super Universal" aircraft (NC 4453, "The Virginia") of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition at the "Little America" base camp. Pioneer Bernt Balchen is kneeling in front of the plane with a sled dog. On 7 March 1929 Bernt Balchen, Lt. Harold June, and geologist Laurence McKinley Gould landed with this aircraft near the Rockefeller Mountains to conduct a geological survey. However, during the evening of 14 March a huge gust of wind ripped the plane from its moorings and blew it for 700 m before it crashed on the ice. The crew was rescued a few days later. | ||
