Disaster at the Pole: The Tragedy of the Airship "Italia" and the 1921 Nobile Expedition to the North Pole
Wilbur Cross
In 1928, Unberto Nobile set out to take his newly designed airship to the North Pole, land it, and then return to base. But what started in glory turned to disaster when the airship crashed some 300 miles from civilization. This is an account of one of the greatest polar disasters.
