5.0 out of 5 stars Autobiography of an Arctic Explorer, August 8, 2005
This review is from: Come North With Me: An Autobiography (Hardcover)
In the early days of flying, few people had the amount of experience of flying in the Arctic that was possessed by Bernt Balchen. He extended that experience when he joined Admiral Richard Byrd for exploration of the Antarctic and became the first man to pilot a plane over the South Pole. During World War Two, Balchen joined the US Air Force as a Colonel and flew hazardous missions to help the Norwegian Resistance fight the Nazis. He and a handful of pilots also flew planes between Stockholm, a neutral hotbed of allied and axis spies, and Scotland. They carried a mixed group of spies, secret types, Norwegian resistance fighters, and one night they carried me. I was interned by the Swedish Government when my bomber crash-landed in Sweden. When I was released, a Balchen plane carried me out while it dodged German night-fighter planes over Norway. Balchen's motto was, "Vee do it," and he certainly did. The book is a fascinating story by a courageous man.
