The long-running feuds between those who claim to have been the first to have made it to the North Pole were accompanied by the claims of Roald Amundsen and aeronautical engineer Umberto Nobile in 1926, who flew by airship to the North Pole. Nobile flew again two years later in an effort to win back some of the accolades that he believed Amundsen had stolen from him. This journey ended in disaster and death, prompting one of the greatest rescue operations the world had ever seen.
