10-Minute Mystery: Lincoln Ellsworth and the North Pole controversy

In 1926, Rear Admiral Richard Byrd became a household name after being the first to fly over the North Pole.

If Byrd wasn't the the first man to fly to the pole, then that honor would belong to Lincoln Ellsworth of Hudson, Ohio and his expedition partners. www.ohiomysteries.com [email protected] www.patreon.com/ohiomysteries www.twitter.com/mysteriesohio www.facebook.com/ohiomysteries Music: Audionautix- The Great Unknown The Great Phospher- Daniel Birch Learn more about your ad choices.
