'Greenland air route and weather on a Greenland air route': papers before the Royal Geographical Society, 18 April 1932

The British Arctic Air Route Expedition (BAARE) of 1930-31 investigated the feasibility of a shorter air route between England and Canada via Greenland. The Admiralty, Air Ministry and War Office all provided support.

The RAF conducted around 70 reconnaissance flights and captured survey photographs in De Havilland DH 60 Gipsy Moth seaplanes. All expedition members, including Flight Lieutenants Narborough Hughes D’Aeth and Henry Iliffe Cozens, received Polar Medals for their efforts. This file contains papers that were presented to the Royal Geographical Society in 1932. They include meteorological observations and detail the challenges of flying and establishing landing grounds.
