Antarctica's lost aviator : the epic adventure to explore the last frontier on Earth  Cover Image Book Book

Antarctica's lost aviator : the epic adventure to explore the last frontier on Earth / Jeff Maynard.

Summary:

"By the 1930s, no one had yet crossed Antarctica, and its vast interior remained a mystery frozen in time. Hoping to write his name in the history books, wealthy American Lincoln Ellsworth announced he would fly across the unexplored continent ... Antarctica's Lost Aviator brings alive one of the strangest episodes in polar history, using previously unpublished diaries, correspondence, photographs, and film to reveal the amazing true story of the first crossing of Antarctica and how, against all odds, it was achieved by the unlikeliest of heroes."-- Publisher's description.
