Description

This is the story of Richard Byrd, all-American hero, arctic explorer and society swell. Set against the backdrop of "roaring twenties" New York, at its centre is a race to be the first to fly to the North Pole - a perilous feat at the edge of technological possibility. Byrd's competitors in the race are Roald Amundsen, Scott's South Pole nemesis, now bankrupt and tarnished by dubious business dealings and a crazed Italian airman named Umberto Nobile.
