Re: Two R4C-1 stories ?

Stig,

I'm afraid that my interests are much narrower than yours and so I don't have that large folder on the Wright Flyer that guards your archives!

It is not easy to find material about the 1939/41 Antarctic expeditions, owing no doubt to their being overshadowed by the big War. However, one of the ships involved was USS Bear whose deployment dates are given as,

22Nov39 to 05Jun40
10Oct40 to 18May41

and so cover two Antarctic summers. She may have carried a seaplane or two.
