Admiral Byrd
Richard E. Byrd was a navigator and expedition leader who claimed that he was the first to fly over the South and North Poles. However, his claims were disputed and majority of polar experts believe that Roald Amundsen has the first verifiable flight claim to each pole.
Hate to tell you this, but Richard Evelyn Byrd arrived at Antarctica some 17 years after Roald Amundsen had reached the South Pole. Byrd's first expedition to the South Pole happened in 1928, Amundsen had beaten Scott to the Pole in 1911.
Robert Byrd, along with pilot Bernt Balchen, co-pilot/radioman Harold June, and photographer Ashley McKinley made the first flight over the South Pole on November 28th, 1929 in a Ford Trimotor airplane named the Floyd Bennett (who was Byrds pilot on previous expeditions).
