The first BAE was record of the history of US aviation exploits in Antarctica from 1929 to scheduled to run from 1928–1930. Byrd had planned on being the first to fly in Antarctica, and ultimately over the South Pole. We are told how he was beaten to the former goal by just a few weeks when Hubert Wilkins, running his own expedition took off from Deception Island and did a 1200 mile round trip over the Antarctic continent, on 15 December 1926. This is but one example of how much detail is built into the story narrated by John Romeo, and cleverly woven through a series of expert commentators, among them; David Bresnahan, National Science Foundation Representative for Antarctica 1972–2007; Wendell Summers, Lt Commander USN and former R4D Pilot ‘Operation Highjump 1946–47; Dian O. Belanger, Historian, author of Deep Freeze; several of the pilots and support crew involved with individual events, and John Stewart, Historian, Author of Antarctica: An Encyclopedia’ who credits Admiral E Byrd with ‘Opening up Antarctica via the aeroplane’. We learn too about the role the ship, Wyatt Earp, played in support of different expeditions, and Byrd’s initiating the use of Jet Assisted Take Off (JATO) rocket bottles fixed to the side of the fuselage to give sufficient thrust for the R4D aircraft (Navy version of the DC-3) to take-off from an aircraft carrier. The story unfolds predominantly as voices over a large collection of movie clips and still pictures. Part 1 concludes with the detailed history of Operation Highjump, 1946–47, interleaved with the privately run Ronne expedition 1946–48 with all its personality Continued on page 4 E X P L O R E R ‘ S G A Z E T T E V O L U M E 17, I S S U E 3 J U L S E P 2 0 1 7 P R E S I D E N T ’ S C O R N E R Ed Hamblin—OAEA President GROWLERS & BERGY BYTES TO ALL OAEs—First off, I hope any of Feature Stories, Odds & Ends, Collected, Compiled, our members that live in Florida and Texas Edited, & Written by Billy-Ace Penguin Baker didn’t suffer any major damages from the 2 Page recent hurricanes.

Shortly after the hurricane struck, our scientists, through our Rapid Response program, began to conduct research to understand how Harvey has impacted the coast and offshore Gulf of Mexico. This research will help determine the best ways to deal with many coastal issues in the aftermath of the storm, and how we might better prepare for such events in the future.
