Richard E. Byrd, Naval Aviator 608 was there for the early years of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, the first military pilots, the North Pole conquered by plane, and for every major development in the 25 years following the Wright Brothers’ Kitty Hawk flight. This is his eyewitness memoir of the people and events behind the rise of American aviation. New York Herald Times: “Skyward is the most interesting and instructive book on aviation that has been published.”
