Overview

Skyward is as much the memoir of great American explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Jr. as it is a fascinating narrative of America s early aviation history, much of which Byrd shaped with his explorations as a naval pilot and pioneering scientist. Through the life of Admiral Byrd, we see the seeds of America s aerial military force, commercial airline travel, and our understanding of the planet s most remote geographical locations planted. Byrd s outsized ambition has inspired generations to dare to push technological limits in order to achieve things greater than themselves. Reissued for today s readers, Admiral Byrd s classic explorations by land, air, and sea transport us to the farthest reaches of the globe. As companions on Byrd s journeys, modern audiences experience the polar landscape through Byrd s own struggles, doubts, revelations, and triumphs and share the excitement of these timeless adventures."
