Animated map illustrates the flight course of Lieutenant Commander Richard Byrd and pilot Floyd Bennett, as they return to Kings Bay, Spitsbergen, Norway, from the North Pole, aboard their Fokker F-VII Tri-motor airplane, the "Josephine Ford." Pilot Floyd Bennett is photographed (by Byrd) in full arctic gear, at the controls of the airplane. View from the cabin of the Kings Bay encampment below. View from the ground, of Byrd and Bennett's Fokker aircraft, as it flies over the mooring mast of the Norwegian airship Norge. Next, steam issues from the ship's horn on the funnel of the SS Chantier, as she welcomes the aviators back from the Pole. Expedition team members wave and toss their hats in joy, as the aircraft approaches to land. The Fokker on final approach, with huge snow mountains behind. It touches down in front of the Norge airship hangar (between the hangar and the bay) and turns left, to taxi.
As U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Richard Byrd, and pilot Floyd Bennett step from their Fokker airplane upon their return from overflight of the North Pole, they are greeted and congratulated by Norwegian explorer, Ronald Amundsen and American Lincoln Ellsworth (who, themselves, are preparing to fly, from Spitsbergen, to the North Pole, and beyond, in the airship Norge). Members of the Byrd expedition team rush to greet the returning aviators and huddle about them expressing congratulations. They lift Byrd and Bennett up on their shoulders. Crewmen are gather and celebrate, aboard the SS Chantier, as a sailor who wouldn't shave until the mission was complete, gets his 34-day beard shaved off, as one of the sailors plays a ukulele.
Crowds line the sidewalks of Broadway, in Manhattan, New York City, watching a ticker tape parade celebrating the arrival of the SS Chantier, carrying U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Richard E. Byrd, and pilot Floyd Bennett, home to America, after their successful flight over the North Pole. Byrd , in Navy uniform, and Bennett, at his left, in civilian clothes, march in the center of the parade. An echelon formation of six military aircraft flies over the scene. View of City Hall, with military honor guards in formation and crowds lining the sidewalks. The group of marchers, including Byrd and Bennett, turns toward the steps of the City Hall (Where they are to be officially greeted by New York Mayor, James Walker).
