Illustrated throughout w/intriguing header and tailpiece decoration by Richard Harrison. Sharp, near fine first printing. When Admiral Richard E. Byrd set out on his second Antarctic expedition in 1934, he was already an international hero for having piloted the first flights over the North and South Poles. His plan for this latest adventure was to spend six months alone near the bottom of the world, gathering weather data and indulging his desire "to taste peace and quiet long enough to know how good they really are." But early on things went terribly wrong. Isolated in the pervasive polar night with no hope of release until spring, Byrd began suffering inexplicable symptoms of mental and physical illness. By the time he discovered that carbon monoxide from a defective stovepipe was poisoning him, Byrd was already engaged in a monumental struggle to save his life and preserve his sanity. When Alone was first published in 1938, it became an enormous bestseller. This book keeps alive Byrd s unforgettable narrative for generations of readers. 296 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.

First edition. Quarto. Frontispiece portrait of Byrd, vi, 385, [1] pp. Copiously illustrated with photographs, charts, maps and a list of Byrd's exploratory flights over the Antarctic. Publisher printed buff wrappers. Some chips to outer edge of front wrapper and a small split long the lower rear joun. Tight and clean.The first official United States government expedition to Antarctica is probably the least well known of Rear Admirable Richard E. Byrd's many voyages. It was a quickly put-together expedition due to the fact that WWII was going on. In started in 1939 and ended with a hurried evacuation in 1941 afer which all the active service members, including Byrd, were sent to the Pacific theater. While conducting various scientific tasks they built two bases; one called West Base and the other on Stonington Island called East Bay. " Its main objectives were outlined in an order from President Franklin D. Roosevelt dated November 25, 1939. They were instructed to establish two field bases from which staff would collect and document the geography of the coast between Cape Eielson and the Luitpold Coast. Bases were established at the Bay of Whales and Neny Bay. A total of 125 men departed from the United States in two ships. The USS Bear and the USMS North Star were supplied to transport the expedition force to Antarctic. The group consisted of military and civilian personnel. Scientific staff taking part in the expedition included ornithologist Carl Eklund, biologist Jack E. Perkins, ornithologist M. J. Lobell, biologist Herwil McClure Bryant, meteorologist Herbert Dorsey, and geologist Paul Knowles. Specimen collecting documented marine biology, botany, ornithology, and zoology. The specimens taken in reside in the holdings the US National Museum. Byrd used aircraft and an aerial camera to further explore areas of the Walgreen Coast, Thurston Peninsula and Seraph Bay in a series of flights. Another set of three flights was made over Alexander I Island and, in late December 1940, the entire length of George VI Sound was traversed. The use of planes allowed for several important discoveries including the Shackleton Glacier. With international tensions on the rise, the two established bases were evacuated and the groups set sail for the U.S. The North Star arrived in Boston on May 5 and the Bear on May 18" (Smithsonian),

Libro Prima edizione Copia autografata
Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine in Fine. This is a First Edition, SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR Rear Admiral Richard Byrd. Dust Wrapper in archival cover. Back from the twilight of an ice age Admiral Byrd has come with a story of sights that men have hardly dreamed of, sights that no human eye has ever witnessed before- an account of difficulties met and overcome in the "loveliest and most unforgiving of continents." Using the most primitive means and the most modern, pushing on by ship, dog team and by plane, Admiral Byrd and his men penetrated to the very heart of the Antarctic. There, with the latest scientific instruments, they coaxed from the age-old ice secrets that have been locked there since the world was young. Signed by Author(s).
