Description

The Report of Operation HighJump U.S. Navy Antarctic Development Program 1947 is a comprehensive account of a significant United States Navy operation. In 1946-47, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Jr., USN, led an expedition that sent 4,700 men, 13 ships, and 33 aircraft to establish the Antarctic research base Little America IV. This book is a reproduction of the original account, which was previously held in limited circulation by only two libraries worldwide. The story of Operation HighJump has been shrouded in secrecy for many years, but this publication provides a factual and detailed record of the expedition's history. For those interested in military history or polar exploration, this book offers a unique insight into one of the most significant operations of its kind.
