This reindeer fur parka was made for Adm. Richard Evelyn Byrd, brother of Harry F. Byrd, Sr., and includes a wolf fur hood.
An explorer and renowned aviator, Byrd became the first man to fly to the North Pole in 1926, although some doubted his round-trip to the Pole only took sixteen hours. His later journeys to the Antarctica helped establish an American presence on that continent. |
