Great 20th Century Explorers
The ill-fated semi-rigid N-class airship N1 (aka Italia ) makes a stopover at an airfield before continuing on with Italian general Umberto Nobiles second expedition to overfly the North Pole, Stolp, Germany, April 16, 1928. The Italia crashed on drifting pack ice on May 25 during its return from the Pole. Nobile was rescued when Swedish pilot Einar Lundborg arrived on June 23 but the remaining five survivors were picked up by a Soviet icebreaker, Krassin, on July 12. Lundborg, who crashed on his return to the floe, was removed by another Swedish pilot, Schyberg, on July 6. Three survivors attempted to walk to land, two of them survived and were picked up by the Krassin. One crew member died in the initial crash and six were carried away by the gas bag during the accident. The subsequent rescue attempts were the first large-scale international air-sea search-and-rescue operations of their kind in the Arctic region and resulted in the death of Nobiles former partner and rival Roald Amundsen.
