My Grandfather was the 1st man to ever fly to the North Pole
He was Floyd Bennett. I never got a chance to meet him because he died flying a rescue mission before I was born.
I understand he was quit a man. There are 2 airports named after him and a plane named The Floyd Bennett is on display at the Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Mi.
Also a Navy Destroyer, The USS Bennett
And he received the Congressional Medal of Honor by President Calvin Coolidge.
I just wish I could have got a chance to know him.
