16 men and one dog were the first to fly over the North Pole on May 12th 1926. They thought they were actually the second to fly over the pole as Richard Byrd claimed to have done it three days earlier, but this was later discovered to be falsified.
They were the crew of the Airship Norge and were, Umberto Nobile, Roald Amundsen, Lincoln Ellsworth, Oscar Wisting, 1st Lt. Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen, 1st Lt. Emil Horgen, Capt. Birger Gottwaldt, Dr Finn Malmgren, Fredrik Ramm, Frithjof Storm-Johnsen, Flying Lt. Oscar Omdal, Chief Mechanic Cecioni, Rigger Alesandrini, and Motor-Mechanics Arduino, Caratti and Pomella. Nobile's dog, Titina, also came aboard as a mascot.

∙ 14y agoOn May 12, 1926, Norwegian Roald Amundsen, his American sponsor Lincoln Ellsworth and the Italian aeronautic engineer Umberto Nobile flew over the Pole in the semi-rigid airship Norge, designed and piloted by Nobile. The total crew was 16 men. The Norge began in Spitsbergen and flew to Alaska, making its conquest of the pole unquestionable. This is the first expedition of any kind that is universally agreed to have reached the North Pole.

So the first flight over the North Pole was by the airship Norge on May 12th 1926 with its crew of Umberto Nobile and Roald Amundsen amongst others.
