• BYRD 1925-1927 edited by Raimund E. ...
• In 1996, Ohio State University archivist Raimund Goerler discovered a previously unknown diary and notebook of Richard Byrd while cataloging a collection of Byrd's papers. ... The diary had been used by Byrd from 1925-1927 to record his controversial flight to the North Pole. Many have questioned whether Byrd actually accomplished this feat and this diary sheds more light on the controversy.   In 1926 Byrd announced that he and his copilot Floyd Bennett had flown over the North Pole. ... This claim was questioned at the time because many did not believe that Byrd's airplane could have reached the pole and returned in less than sixteen hours that Byrd claimed. After Byrd's death, it was reported that Bennett confessed that he and Byrd had only flown out of sight, circled around, and then returned when enough time had passed to seem plausible. Further, a meteorologist calculated that Byrd would have needed a favorable wind to make to the flight in the time he did and that such a wind was lacking on the date of the flight.   Interspersed throughout the text of the book are entries from Byrd's diary. This includes Byrd's account of the controversial North Pole Flight. After reading this account, one has to ask whether or not Byrd accurately recorded events or if he deliberately fabricated the entries in the diary. As Byrd never attempted to publish this dairy, it would appear this is an accurate account.
