Richard E. Byrd and Floyd Bennett are credited with being the first men to fly over the North Pole on May 9, 1926. However, today experts believe that Roald Amundsen may have been the first to make a verifiable claim to this feat. Byrd was a naval officer who also explored Antarctica.

If you fly due south would you reach the north pole?

No. If you fly due south, you will not reach the north pole. Though you may start your journey pointing due south, once you fly past the south pole, assuming that you did not change direction, you would begin flying north (because the Earth is round). While you would eventually reach the north pole, you would not be flying due south when you did.
