"OUR POLAR FLIGHT" by Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth is a story about a daring trip to explore the Arctic using airplanes, a new idea at the time. It follows famous explorer Roald Amundsen and his friend Lincoln Ellsworth as they try to fly over unknown areas near the North Pole. The book starts by talking about the exciting idea of using planes to explore the Arctic, which was very different from how people usually traveled there. Amundsen thinks about how flying has changed since the first airplane and believes it could be a way to reach parts of the Arctic that no one had been able to get to before. The story then looks at how they got ready for the trip, including problems with getting the right planes, talks between the crew, and finally leaving, highlighting that a strong feeling of wanting to discover new things pushed them to try to cross the ice in a way that had never been done.
