Byrd North Pole claim disputed by Balchen in interview
Bernt Balchen, 72, a retired Air Force colonel, says Richard E. Byrd lied about making the first North Pole flight in 1926, arguing Byrd’s fame rested on fraud. He recalls Floyd Bennett told him Byrd never reached the Pole, with Amundsen achieving the feat near 130 miles away. Balchen’s view aligns with Amundsen’s and Ellsworth’s 1925 Polar attempt and Norge flight. Byrd died in 1957 after a long illness.
