ISBN: 9788282351270 - a flight to remember: roald amundsens dramatic attempt to reach the north pole in 1925 (6 Ergebnisse)

paperback. 2024 First Edition. 405pp, paperback, printed on high gloss quality paper, New. Flying over the Polar Regions was a long-time dream that involved balloons, airships and airplanes. Roald Amundsen was one of the early proponents of flying in these areas as the future means of both exploration and transport. Even before the South Pole Expedition in 1910, he had established a network of contacts in the Norwegian aviation community. Fifteen years later, in 1925, he was on his way towards the North Pole in a Dornier-Wal, a German flying boat manufactured in Italy. This is his personal diary from the expedition, published in English for the first time. The Polar Flight in 1925 is one of Roald Amundsen's most exciting expeditions, and it was considered a miracle that he and his crew returned alive. It is a treat to read Amundsen's day by day account, as the expedition members try to prepare the plane and the constantly moving and threatening ice for take off from 88° North. Also included is the first publication of the personal account of Heinrich Schulte-Frohlinde, who was leading Dornier's three-man team in Kings Bay, Ny-Ålesund. His description of the preparation of the polar flight and the weeks after the departure brings a new and interesting perspective on the expedition. The book is illustrated with more than 300 original photos. Glacier Books are experienced and professional booksellers. We take pride in offering carefully described books and excellent customer service.…
