Richard Byrd's 1926 Arctic Expedition. Members devise means to transport their Fokker airplane from ship to shore through ice floes
The 1936 Byrd expedition to fly an airplane over the North Pole. Lacking a place to dock, at Kings Bay, Spitsbergen, Norway, expedition members lash lifeboats together for a raft to float their Fokker F-VII Tri-motor airplane, the "Josephine Ford," from their ship, the SS Chantier, to the shore. Snow is falling as they complete the lashing and begin fastening planks across the lifeboats to complete the raft. Using poles and oars, they maneuver the raft close to the Chantier. Then, using her cranes, they lower the airplane's fuselage onto the raft followed by its wing, that they place atop it. They fasten the load with lines and propel the raft and plane through the ice floes, using poles and oars. Writing on the airplane reads: "Fokker, Josephine Ford, Byrd Arctic Expedition." Closeup of two oarsmen rowing and another pushing ice floes away from the raft. View from under the airplane wing, of the SS Chantier with ice floes piled up beside her. Five men in a dingy, trying to clear a path for the raft, and others, on the raft doing the same. View from the Chantier, of the raft and men struggling to make their way to the shore.

Amundsen-Ellsworth arctic polar flight, in airship Norge, gets underway from Spitsbergen, Norway
Norwegian explorer, Ronald Amundsen steps from the Byrd expedition aircraft (Fokker F-VII Tri-motor airplane, the "Josephine Ford") with navigation instruments in his hands. These are gifts from Lieutenant Commander Richard Byrd, to assist Amundsen and Ellsworth on their imminent arctic flight aboard the airship Norge. Byrd in Navy uniform, and Michael J. Brennan, U.S. Merchant Marine, Captain of the SS Chantier, follow Amundsen out of the airplane. Byrd joins Amundsen and they converse briefly. Then Captain Brennan examines some charts with Amundsen. Byrd holds a special sun compass invented by Albert H. Bumstead, chief cartographer of the National Geographic Society, and explains it to Lincoln Ellsworth, who then takes it in hand and manipulates it. Next event shown is on morning of May 11, 1926, as Byrd and Bennett take off, in the "Josephine Ford," in front of the parked airship, Norge, to provide a courtesy escort for the airship as it gets underway. Their plane is seen flying overhead as ground crews prepare the Norge for departure. Next, the Norge is seen rising vertically from the ground. Viewed from the Kings Bay dock the Norge is seen aloft in the distance. Aerial view, fairly close, of the Norge underway (presumably taken by Byrd, from his airplane).
