<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#000000 face="Gill Sans" size=2>In 1927, Richard E.
Byrd, the artic explorer, made a transatlantic flight in the Fokker trimotgor
"America". Aboard he had two radio sets: the main set was built
for the expedition at the Naval Research Laboratory by Malcolm P. Hanson and L.
A. Hyland. The second. emergency, set was waterproof and used a kite to
carry the antenna aloft. Does anyone have any further information on these
radios??? Thanks, Bob</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
