To this reader, these chapters here fortify my opinion on a certain person with regard to WW 2, it's ending and aftermath. For years 1933 has been a paramount point of interest to me with regard to America's true history. I have stated more then once that the occupant of the White House was the greatest treasonist this country has ever known. Now I truly know why I have felt that way, as it turns out, it was something more then giving away half of Europe to the Communists....

Admiral Richard E. Byrd Finds
The South Pole Entrance to Inner World
"Hitler is alive!" Those were the first words Joseph Stalin said to President Harry Truman and Prime
Minister Churchill when a discreet moment was available at the 1945 Potsdam Conference.
"The body in the bunker was not that of Hitler," Stalin said. "The hair, teeth and fingerprints do not
match." Then he gave complete autopsy details to the Prime Minister of England and the President of
the United States. At the Potsdam conference it was agreed America would send
the first expeditionary force to the Antarctic to look for the departed German leader and the missing
nationals who had left Berlin and Germany by various routes in late '44 and early '45. It was also
agreed that as soon as preparations could be made the United States would invade the Antarctic and
the old allies including Russia would stand by if further offensive action was needed once the Germans
were located.
Therefore, according to plan, the United States assembled its Russian and British approved South Polar
expedition. Existence of the round wing planes would remain secret, and only conventional weaponry
would be deployed. The entire 1946-1947 operation was billed as the largest expedition ever sent to
the Antarctic and was given publicity for the media back home, rather than an attempt being made to
keep the expedition a secret. It was also intended to establish a permanent U.S. base in the
subcontinent, a move that had been delayed when the temporary American bases of 1939 and 1940
were abandoned because of the war. But although Admiral Byrd was the figurehead of the expedition,
his real role was disguised. He would lead "a search and find foray into the Antarctic" where it was
assumed by many the German leader and his troops had retreated.
An accompanying naval force out of Norfolk, Virginia under Rear Admiral Richard H. Cruzen included
thirteen war ships, nineteen planes, supply and transport vessels, equipped with helicopters and
icebreaker to lead the way, and a submarine to aid in any type of underwater research or assistance.
All vehicles were caterpillar tread type tractors as these would be required to tow overland the sleigh
and toboggan loads of building materials, quonset huts, warehouse, weather stations, abundant food,
clothing and all accessories, especially fuel and oil to transport a 4,000 man force in a hostile freezing
land, where ice and snow was up to two miles in depth. The Antarctic adventure was a full scale naval
and overland expedition and in a real sense was a continuation of World War II, provided an enemy
could be located in the 5-1/2 million square miles of Antarctic mountains and vast snowy wastes.
At Christchurch in New Zealand a branch station was set up as the midpoint for communications
between McMurdo Sound, 2365 miles away. Also, at Christchurch additional repair parts and supplies would be stored for eventual movement to Antarctic where they would be required by the 4,000 man
force.
Byrd had a final meeting with the military in the United States at which time on orders of President
Truman, he was forbidden to fly his own aircraft until he reached the Antarctic.
The flight to McMurdo Base departed from the Hueneme, California base February 1, and carried
Byrd's co-pilot (and navigator combined), radioman. and photographer representing the National
Science Foundation and National Geographic Society. They set a course for Hawaii as passenger Byrd
sat back reminiscing with his navigator.
The following day Admiral Byrd and his crew took off from Honolulu for the aircraft carrier where his
Antarctic plane was waiting to take them on the last leg of the journey into the South
Pole region to find the whereabouts of the 250,000 Germans. On the fourth day after departure from
Port Hueneme, Admiral Byrd arrived at McMurdo Base in the Antarctic where his fixed wing plane
would be observed from a round wing plane of German origin hovering silently above the Sound.
Byrd's team had been the first to fly over the South Pole on November 29, 1929, and for him this
updated trip, of course, was no mere polar exercise.
On this occasion he was resolved to find the missing Germans. The irony surrounding the expedition's
concept, however, was that while some planners were told it was a polar training expedition, Byrd
knew from three former expeditions into the Antarctic that this trip would entail untold hazards and
perhaps a lot more than a hidden valley, where rumors told of a German hideout or last stand.
But it was Admiral Byrd's May 9, 1926 aerial expedition in search of the North Pole, accompanied by
co-pilot Floyd Bennett, that first fired his zeal to return again and again to the Polar ends of the earth.
It was Bennett who first awakened Byrd's imagination about the inner earth being hollow with possible
entrances at both Poles.
Bennett had long noted an important similarity in all previous Arctic (North Pole) accounts. The
weather became warmer the farther north a traveler went. For instance, the log of Dr. Fridtjof Nansen,
1893-6, seemed to show conclusive proof that the North Polar region was not a frigid ocean of ice.
Nansen's conclusions read: "We have demonstrated that the sea in the immediate neighborhood of the
pole,...in all probabilities lies, in a deep basin, not a shallow one...the ice seemed to drift northerly,
unimpeded..."
(In 1980, NASA maps confirm that the Arctic's ocean floor is a sloping depression beginning in
northern Greenland and running about 2,200 miles. Actually the incline of the ocean bed begins
about the 85th parallel and eventually becomes the throat of the Arctic which leads into the hollow Earth.)
The official released version of Byrd's 1926 flight from Spitsbergen to the North Pole is unimaginative
and sterile. Byrd's log is reported to have recorded the following: "We reached the
North Pole. After taking two sun sights and many pictures, we went on for several miles in the direction
we had come, and made another larger circle to be sure to take in the North Pole."
Not disclosed in the official accounts is the following paraphrased but authentic record of that 1926
journey in its final hours. "Bennet urged Byrd to proceed at their existing altitude over an ocean devoid
of ice, the horizon of which seemed to enlarge beyond the 85th parallel. As they continued, the
compass became erratic, the tail wind increased and the sun's position sank lower. The tri-motored
Ford Plane continued only a short distance into this area of mechanical confusion and navigational
uncertainty. Then Byrd, becoming fearful, decided to turn back and head for base." They had seen and
felt the unknown. From that day on Byrd and Bennett (until his death in 1928) shared the same
observations and determination. They had observed that the spherical earth was concave at the
so-called top of the planet, and that the Arctic Ocean apparently disappeared into an unending black
hole. Before they reached base, they had resolved to return.
During the following year, 1927, (the author confirmed) Byrd and Bennett flew again to the top of the
world but this time they penetrated into the earth's interior. Their new sponsor was the United States
Navy. They departed in secret from an unknown base at an unknown time, and to this day no official
word of that flight has been made available to biographers or compilers. Byrd is reported to have flown
a total of 1,700 miles, the most astonishing time of which was spent inside the earth's interior. His diary
of the event records sightings of what looked like prehistoric animals, green forests, mountains, lakes,
rivers in a warm climate where tall, fair people waved to the fliers. Pictures of these interior locales
were actually seen by the researcher.
Richard Evelyn Byrd, descendent of an old Virginian family and who served in the U.S. Navy prior to
World War I and as an aviation instructor during the war, was to become illustrious – in a tragic way.
The panoramic evidence of that historic 1927 voyage was never to be shown or admitted to even exist.
President Calvin Coolidge on seeing the over 300 pictures and upon reading the log of the flight said
emphatically: "No one! Absolutely no one will believe this report! Let's keep it quiet! If we release the
information, we will become the laughing stock of the nation and the world." President Coolidge was a
New England realist. The decision to withhold the story of Byrd's epic journey was not a contrived
cover-up. There was no national security involved. Others beside the President who saw the pictures
and read the log simply believed that the phenomena of a world within a world was so fantastic as to be
preposterous. (A secretary to the late President Coolidge verified the official reaction.)
The pictures and log of that Byrd flight to the interior of the earth were sealed and immediately placed in
a vault at the Library of Congress. They lay there untouched for 12 years. When World War II began,
the secret account of Byrd's 1927 flight was reviewed and became classified under the name "White Sheet Project". In the second year of the war, American Intelligence and the executive branch realized
the significance of another world within a world, especially when Jonathon Caldwell, on a training flight
in a round wing plane whose routing was over the North Pole, drifted into the black void which Byrd
had come upon in 1927. Consequently, the Byrd flight, along with Caldwell's 1940 log was relabeled
the "White Pole Project". When World War II hostilities ceased in 1945 the "White Pole Project" was
placed under a new Navy department called Polar Archives, where it still operates in 1978 on the sixth
floor of the National Archives. In the 1960's NASA Archives became the repository for much of the
Polar activities because of the intense space craft action and related world research at the Polar
regions.
With the reader made aware of the foregoing background information on Byrd's early Arctic exploits,
we can now return to the circumstances surrounding his 1946 flight into the Antarctic, about which this
chapter is mainly concerned.
Before departure for that 1946 flight, the Navy allowed Byrd to add to his extensive first-hand
knowledge of the Antarctic by perusal of newly acquired information taken from captured German
records and books. Most believable to Byrd were the exploits and observations of German teams sent
to the Antarctic from 1937 onward. These aerial and land teams had mapped and photographed much
of the subcontinent and the reports on their Antarctic findings were an engrossing study that had
stimulated naval curiosity. Byrd was instinctively aware that the Germans would have preferred that
these classified reports had not been moved to the Americas,
for they gave helpful clues and conclusions about German intentions at the South Pole. Not all the
classified information regarding the probes on the Pole had been given Byrd, but the facts he had
assimilated assured him that regardless of how incredible polar openings to the interior of the planet
were regarded by those to whom he spoke, an entrance to the inner earth could indeed exist,
regardless of scientific opinion. The location of such an opening, if it existed, should be near the South
Pole beneath a cloud covered area, which Byrd had observed in 1929 but had not been able to check.
That possible site was east of the Pole on a line of flight nearby the 171st meridian.
Reflecting again on his past Polar accomplishments and the frustrations arising from government
bureaucracy, Byrd was cognizant that 17 years after his last aerial trip to the South Pole he and a new
crew were now heading into the Antarctic again, perhaps to conclude once and for all times his polar
adventures that might unravel the enigma of the sub-continent.
From McMurdo, Admiral Byrd and his crew were flown to the aircraft carrier 300 miles north in the
Antarctic waters. A final briefing took place, and the flight was scheduled for the following morning.
Each man on the crew had taken an oath of secrecy. If they failed to return after a given period of time
in the so-called Antarctic exercise, a massive emergency search was to be started. But regardless of the
outcome, it was agreed not to inform the public of the true purpose of the excursion into the unknown. In the wisdom of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Byrd had not been told the secret of the round wing plane
which America then possessed.
Byrd and his men checked out the conventional aircraft on which they had trained in the United States.
It was called a Falcon, but had no relationship to the 1929 Falcon built by Curtis Wright Aircraft
Company. This particular aircraft had been specially constructed in 1946 for high speed and great
endurance. The entire project under which it was conceived by the Navy, designed and rushed to
completion, was top secret. The airplane's speed is unknown but presumed to have been a good
margin over 300 miles per hour. Its range was over 6,000 miles. The Pratt and Whitney engines were
also carefully tuned and all unused space in the aircraft was filled with extra gasoline containers, each
filled with 100 gallons and tapped into the main fuel supply line to the engines. Extra food rations,
because of their added weight, had been kept to a minimum. In case of emergency landing, there would
be no hope of survival, particularly in the rarefied atmosphere of the mountain range that barred their
path to the area of search in the South Pole region.
For takeoff, the plane was overheavy. Even with catapult assistance the pilot had difficulty sustaining
safe height. It became necessary to fly at 5,000 feet maximum for over six hours until extra fuel was
used up and its containers thrown overboard.
The following are notes from the log kept by Admiral Richard E. Byrd on his exploratory trip to and
beyond the South Pole and into the interior of the Earth. On February 5, 1946, the log begins:
"Catapulted from aircraft carrier with full tanks plus extra tanks; the carrier located about 300 miles due
north of the McMurdo Base; clear skies, headed for the settlement there, reaching it
about 6:50 A.M., circled the settlement; flew low, waving to those on the ground who waved in return.
(Byrd's flight from McMurdo, 400 miles due west to the first mountain chain's rim was time-consuming
inasmuch as it became expedient to burn off his aircraft's excess fuel. It was too overloaded to permit a
sufficient gain in altitude.) Arrived first designated area at 3:00 P.M. our time, skies very clear, coal
sack would be seen very clearly overhead, circled the area three times, dropped a small American flag
outside the window to claim for the U.S.A. (Reason for circling area was because aircraft was still
unable to attain sufficient altitude to cruise over the 10,500 foot pass of the Axel Heiberg glazier onto
the central plateau where the supposed valley might begin into the planet's interior).
"Dropped the empty gasoline drums by means of ejection chute in aircraft floor. After several hours, gross weight reduced enough to gain height and cross the mountain rim.
"4:20 P.M. -- Arrived at the edge of the valley, sun was still bright in the sky. We started down following the contour of the ground taking note of the terrain as we descended. At first, slope is gradual then it becomes steeper as though one were going down the side of a mountain. (Navigator now concerned that too much excess was burned off.)
"4:30 P.M. -- Ice Cap beginning to get thinner, now beginning to see the exposed side of the mountain. Our outside temperature gauge has also recorded a 10 degree rise from 60 below zero, observed at the start of the descent.
"5:00 P.M. -- We are still following a slope down, the ice is now very thin on the rocks that cover the slope, see some black spots that could be coal, sun is still high in the sky, temperature continues to show a slow steady rise, it could even be tropical at the bottom of the valley, maybe even a Shangri-La only time will tell.
"5:30 P. M. - - Altimeter shows drop of about one mile since we entered the valley. We have traveled some 300 plus miles in a down slope, sides seem to be gradually getting steeper.
"6:00 P.M. -- Ice completely gone, rocks now bare, temperature shows a steady rise, getting warmer as we go deeper, all of a sudden we seem to have hit a bottomless pit in which the sides slope straight down, compass gone completely crazy and is not working at all. We are now spiraling downward, the sun is still shining, but gets dimmer as we descend.
"7:00 P.M. -- We have been descending into the hole for almost an hour, air outside continues getting warmer, a few minutes ago we passed a small waterfall from which steam seemed to be coming, we circled so that our photographer could get a picture. As the sun was dim, we had to use flood lights to enable a good photograph.
"8:00 P.M. -- We are nosing down as if traveling on level ground, the compass now not working at all, altimeter has shown a steady fall, instruments indicate our ground speed has slowed to about 50 miles per hour. Why are we traveling so slow?
"9:00 P.M. -- Calculate we have traveled down for at least 100 miles from the top of the hole, fuel is half gone, dropped another empty gas tank. (Extra gasoline cans held 100 gallons each, made of aluminum 1/8" thick.) It fell horizontally toward the wall as if being pulled toward ground; readings are crazy here, haven't enough fuel to travel further into the earth. (Bell has sounded indicating fuel supply in main tanks half gone.) We’ll turn back and properly explore on future expedition. Our fuel will get us back if we start now, radio is dead, no contact. (Crew were confused because though not weightless, they were able to walk up the sides and on roof of the plane, and remain perpendicular.) Four synchronized clocks on board plus crew's watches kept time, but, later it was shown all clocks and watches had gained seven hours.
"10:00 P.M. -- We are now traveling up at faster speed than we went down, and it as if we were traveling along level ground, no explanation of it, it is starting to get cooler outside as we move towards the surface.
11:00 P.M. -- We are now getting near the top where the steep drop off started, have given orders to fly a right angle from our course to determine the diameter of the shaft, cold is starting to get intense outside again.
"12:00 Midnight -- We have traveled for about an hour and we have returned to approximately our starting point, navigator believes hole to be over 100 miles in diameter. We are now ascending and steadily gaining speed with wind in our rear, temperature outside gets colder, speed increases automatically.”
FOOTNOTE: Byrd later made a special report on how his speed changed without pilot aid from 300 miles per hour on the surface down to about 50 miles per hour descending the hole or shaft. He also told how the temperature went from minus 60 degrees fahrenheit on the surface to more than plus 60 degrees fahrenheit at the point of return during his descent. (They also reported seeing steam coming out of more than one hole in the rocks and discovered cloud formations within the 125 mile shaft. Their instruments also recorded a steady stream of air corning from deep within the shaft which he felt accounted for their decreased speed in descent. The Admiral recorded that the feeling within the great shaft to the interior was uncanny as if one were on a different planet.)
“1:00 A.M. -- We are now out of the shaft and going up on the slope; have the movie camera taking shots of all rocks and looking for signs of life or vegetation as we ascend, ground ice forming and getting thicker as we go up.
"2:00 A.M. -- We are now at top of valley and will fly across to record the distance. Can barely see the sun corning up in the north. At this time of year it stays up most of time. About four hours of night.
"3:00 A.M. -- We are across the top, finally, navigator calculated it approximately 500 miles in diameter at the top of the funnel. We are now heading for home base and the carrier."
While in the throat of the funnel (or as Byrd called it, the spiral of the screw) the crew saw in the distance a formation of at least five UFO's converging from deeper in the interior. This sighting was also tracked on their navigational radar. As the UFO formation reached Byrd's unarmed plane, a craft positioned itself on each wing tip of the American plane. Byrd's photographer continued to photograph his silent pacers which revealed clearly defined German swastikas on their tops and bottoms.
Actually, the German circular winged planes made no warlike maneuvers nor did they make radio contact with Byrd on that particular expedition. Bold, but not foolish, Byrd's pilot was instructed to take no evasive action, and the photographer advised to continue photographing with the still cameras and automatics. Later, over 300 interior photos sent to the National Science Foundation and the National Archives, would comprise the evidence which Admiral Byrd and his crew brought back.
"1:00 P.M. -- We are now back on the Aircraft carrier having landed with no problem. After a good rest, we will fly to New Zealand tomorrow for immediate return to the United States." According to the clocks on board the Falcon aircraft, the flight lasted 31 hours but aircraft carrier time showed the Falcon had been absent 23 hours. Upon his arrival at the aircraft, Byrd sent a coded report to Washington; then the Admiral and his crew rested for three full days on the carrier. Besides the coded report a fast reconnaissance aircraft took special documents and film to Washington via Sydney, Christchurch and Panama. Upon Byrd's later arrival in the United States, the Admiral was immediately escorted to a top secret meeting at the Pentagon with the heads of various armed services.
Extracts from his log were read and hundreds of feet of movie footage were shown and explained to the military brass.
(Today, the specially built Falcon is under wraps at Wright Patterson Field, Dayton, Ohio. When the facts of this expedition are released by the Navy, the Byrd plane will go on display at the Smithsonian Institute).
The log book of the Falcon, written by the navigator and signed by Byrd was formerly stored in a safe in a single room in the National Archives, used only for the custody of this historical document. It could not be seen without a Presidential order. It was briefly examined by the authors in 1976 for one hour while two security personnel stood by. A second examination in 1977 was permitted, with the help of Senator Lawton Chiles of Florida. In 1978 the log was moved to underground historical vaults in the U.S. Air Force Kensington Tombs.
After the movie showing of the Byrd Antarctic expedition, a meeting of the joint chiefs of staff was held with President Harry S. Truman presiding. Conclusions of that historic meeting were recorded by vote that immediate plans should be made for Byrd to return to the bottomless hole at the Southern end of the world, penetrate into the interior, and locate the German base with its round wing planes. The date for re-entry was set for February 16, 1947. The American squadron would again ride against the Germans on conventional, propellor driven, fixed wing aircraft. As for Byrd, he was still not told of the Jefferson round wing project.
Thus there was continued the coverup of America's activities in the Antarctic that was to prevent the public from knowing the true intentions of the United States and its post-war allies.
As the squadron repeated the flight pattern executed the year before, Byrd and his crew surveyed the terrain. Only this time, besides his own crew, a total of 60 astonished combat veteran Americans were descending in a straight southerly line towards the interior of a planet that was presumed to be of a solid molten core. They carefully noted that the mouth of the double funnel or "screw" as Byrd called it, had a 500 mile opening in the bottom of the Antarctic valley that tapered down to a diameter of 125 miles. Through this opening they would fly for 800 miles towards the interior, before emerging again in a vortex-like aperture inside the earth.
Gradually, the bottom of the hole to the interior widened as it did at the topside until the squadron of Falcons found themselves entering into a hollow world within a world. Above the planes the crew saw what appeared to be sky and clouds. Below was sea and land just as above. They were now in the interior of the hollow earth which Byrd in 1929 had described as "that enchanted continent in the sky - - a land of everlasting mystery". (Whereas on the outer surface of the planet a direct line of vision on the convex surface is seven miles, a straight visual sighting on the surface of the earth's interior would be ad infinitum except for air impurities.)
Compasses on the aircraft strangely enough returned to normal upon their entrance to the interior of the earth. They were now descending further inside the earth's sphere, flying in an atmosphere identical to that on the outside of the planet. The seas and land masses clung to the interior walls and the void between was filled with clouds and light in which there were seen mirages of the sea and terrain below. As the outside earthlings sped on at 259 miles per hour every sight they beheld triggered new stimuli of curiosity. They were not flying into a molten mass and the only heat and light energy source came from a diminutive misty ball of fire, an interior sun that seemed to hang suspended in front of them in the center of the globe's interior.
The land masses below were protrusions on the inside of the earth's 800 to 1,200 mile thick mantle. The flyers observed one major difference from the outside of their planet. The interior appeared to have a greater land surface, for as they continued south, their visions widened in this new concave world surrounding them. There were no celestial bearings, no Pole Star or planet Venus on which to take a dead reckoning. Each hoped their squadron could find its way out.
In this unbelievable world of fantasy, Admiral Richard E. Byrd commanding eight navy Falcons and 60 airmen, went stalking Germans.
A bellicose nation from the earth's surface had broken into the interior in search of another Aryan race, with whom they had fought two world wars in the present century. Was the "enemy" here in this lair? And would he fight?
Byrd had taken his squadron further than he himself had ventured the year before. He was now recording a distance of over 2,400 air miles from base.
Still flying north at approximately 10,000 feet, Byrd's navigator, Captain Ben Miller, of Navy air arm, spotted what appeared to be an airfield. (Only hours before Capt. Miller had joined Byrd's crew. He had temporarily turned over to his second in command the command of his carrier from which the flight departed when Byrd's original navigator had taken ill at the last moment.) All eyes of the American squadron peered down and confirmed the sighting. A closer scrutiny revealed various fixed wing aircraft lined up in rows and high powered lenses picked out their identity markings. Swastikas, the emblems of Nazi Germany, were clearly visible.
The American squadron flew on. They reached a point of 2,700 miles within the earth before the order was given by Byrd to return. The cameras on Byrd's plane whirred away as a pictorial account of his journey was made.
An hour later the planes returned over the same compass bearing. Down below they had seen rows of buildings on their trip north and endless planes at a particular bearing. Now these were gone. (The pictures developed by National Defense later showed the airport had been quickly camouflaged.) Suddenly, the Falcon pilots observed that they had uninvited company. Above them and behind on their tails, were five unmarked round wing planes, which the Germans had finally elected to expose.
Byrd had come to this new German world poorly prepared for decisions on the conduct of aerial confrontation. He was primarily an explorer. The Joint Chiefs of Staff had assessed his capabilities and at the last minute briefing Byrd was ordered not to fire on any Germans if he encountered them in flight. Those instructions exist today and were explicit. In addition, Byrd did not evaluate his squadrons vulnerability in the present air strategy which the five round wing planes controlled. And worse, he regarded the German piloted round wing planes as his natural enemy with whom there could be no compromise. Yet, Byrd was not a combat admiral, and suddenly he was catapulted into making a decision whether to accept or decline aerial combat. Did he fail at that time to discern that his "enemy", so called, had abandoned the propeller or even jet powered aircraft of World War II vintage? Certainly Byrd was cognizant from his experience the year before that the Germans now rode the sky in advanced design aircraft that made his conventional Falcon aircraft completely outmoded.
But, on the other hand, giving Admiral Byrd the benefit of the doubt, did he purposely intend to confront the Germans and make them show their hand? No one knows what illogical drive motivated him in his last moment decisions, but they were not the result of any wise on-the-spot military sagacity or desire for survival. The only thing that can be said on behalf of Byrd is that the round wing planes were conundrums that in his mind produced a panic.
Byrd had already given orders to his own gunners to be prepared to fire (and his co-pilot reminded him the order should be rescinded). Therefore, all of his aircraft were in a state of combat readiness. Perhaps ten seconds remained in which the Admiral could have changed his mind.
Then Byrd received an unexpected message on his wave length from outside his aircraft. "Admiral Byrd, this is General Kurt Von Ludwig, Commander of the flying ships you see above. Our fire power has your squadron covered.”
The same German Commander who was interviewed to substantiate this episode continued: "World War II is over. Leave us alone and return to your base. However, if you wish to land at our station in peace, we shall receive you Americans in peace for you are not our enemies. Our aircraft and weapons are so superior to yours that I advise you not to fire on us. There is no chance for your squadron to survive our attack if you insist on fighting. I would also remind you that you are over territory controlled by New Germany and that you are here under our sufferance."
Commander Byrd listened but did not reply. When the German had finished speaking, Byrd gave his order in two words: "Open Fire!" His aircraft hardly had time to comply before the sky seemed to explode.
Those Falcons hit by the saucers' laser beams broke up and spiralled or nose dived to earth where the crews were killed on impact. From what looked like hidden anti-aircraft gun sites on the land below there emanated pencil-thin broken beams of red light. An American witness in one of the planes struck with this ray weapon said, ''the ray seemed to let us down gradually and our pilot was helpless to maintain control; we had to ditch. Those who could, bailed out."
Admiral Byrd watched his entire supporting aircraft plummeting out of the sky nearby. Suddenly, the voice of the German Commander broke into his wave length again. "Commander Byrd, you are a fool. You have sacrificed your own men. You were warned. Now leave this land and never return. Leave at once." Byrd was shaken and quickly went into shock. Miller took over the controls and pointed the aircraft for the opening that led to the topside of the world. Byrd had carried out his orders to find the Germans. He had entered the young lion's den; but he was no Daniel.
The scene that followed as the American planes crashed to earth was not reminiscent of a wartime landing in hostile enemy territory. American survivors picked up by the Germans were interviewed in 1977 to verify the German version of what took place.
The Germans immediately mounted an all-out rescue attempt in order to save the American airmen. Some of the crashed American planes were not severely disabled. From these the occupants quickly crawled out with their hands over their heads. They were met by Germans who immediately disarmed them and asked them to drop their hands, saying that they were in friendly territory. German crews hurriedly raced to the totally demolished American planes, extinguished fires, and removed bodies in an attempt to save lives. Twenty six live Americans were finally assembled that day by the Germans as ambulances with doctors sped to the scene. Para-medics administered first aid to the surviving American crew members as the ambulances headed to nearby hospitals in New Berlin. At the hospital, German specialists set limbs and carefully stitched wounds and made the Americans as comfortable as possible. Occasionally the Germans addressed the Americans in English, some quietly telling how they had taken their degrees at German and American institutions.
Crew members not severely injured were taken into the city. A sign on the outskirts said, "New Berlin". The "prisoners" were then given an escorted automobile tour of the emerging city which the Germans had secretly begun in early 1940. Examples of buildings designed by Albert Spear on the order of Adolf Hitler were shown to the visitors. Stunned by the cautious friendliness of the Germans, the Americans were given a meal and made comfortable in a hotel.
But not all the invading Americans were so fortunate. As Byrd's plane sped homeward to his carrier base, German morticians embalmed and dressed the young Americans killed in the New Berlin raid. Using I.D. cards, victims were identified, features restored when necessary and then redressed in their own flight suits. The remains were placed in sealed plastic coffins.
The German Commander came in and met some of the surviving American officers. Introducing himself, he called them "heroic fools." The next day was February 17, 1947. Open German army trucks had picked up the various bodies of the young Americans. The vehicles assembled and slowly the cortege bore the dead American airmen through the broad streets of the new city. At the convoy's head, a German military band played Mendelson's Funeral March. Behind the cortege German airmen themselves, in honor, marched in slow step. Escorted in cars, American survivors brought up the rear.
As the funeral procession moved toward the Air Field, cannons were fired in the air; and all German flags on Government buildings flew at half mast as the dead and living Americans were prepared for their trip home. For the Americans and the Germans it was the unofficial end of World War II combat.
At the New Berlin Airport five saucers sat waiting. The dead Americans in unbreakable plastic coffins were placed on board another craft. The 24 walking cases were taken on board two other German craft. Finally, Commander Kurt Von Ludwig and his crew boarded the lead ship.
A squadron of five German UFO’s rose silently and headed south to the hole at the end of the world to pay a regretful respect to 60 living and dead Americans. Emerging from the South Pole funnel, the saucers took a northerly course from the Antarctic continent towards Australia. Approximately 1,800 miles southwest of Sydney, Australia, a U.S. aircraft carrier hove to at the radio request of the German Commander. As fleet commander Rear Admiral Cruzen listened, flat top commander Ben Miller, now back in control of his own ship, was hooked into the radio of the German round wing plane. A friend of Commander Miller then spoke from the German craft.
The American survivor appealed to the commanding officer to allow the Germans to land on one end of the carrier flight deck to deliver American survivors. The German UFO's sat down as Commander Kurt Von Ludwig hovered above in an attitude of surveillance. Americans stood down. No guns were drawn. No orders were given. No battle positions were taken.
The walking Americans stepped out and then moved to the other German round wing planes to remove the wounded. These were placed or helped on deck.
American sailors began to stand at attention and many officers stood at silent salute. No American word had been spoken. No German voice had been heard. When the last stretcher was removed, the German UFO's silently lifted and joined their commander aloft, then suddenly they were gone.
Under sedation in the carrier's sick bay, Admiral Byrd had missed the last chapter of the tragic drama he had begun.
From below the carrier flight deck, an ambulance plane was hoisted. Within 20 minutes it too was airborne, headed for Honolulu, Hawaii, where Pearl Harbor was alerted to receive the injured. The same night, over 10,000 miles away from the carrier, five round wing planes appeared at 8:00 P.M. over Arlington, Virginia. They stopped in mid-air and hovered over the tomb of World War I's Unknown Soldier.
A German plane broke formation and landed in an open area near the tomb. The door of the craft opened and darkened forms brought out the bodies of the 30 American airmen who had perished two days before.
There is a spirit, believed to be that of the Unknown Soldier, which had appeared often in the past whenever a body lay in state under the Capitol Rotunda. It was seen by many at Kennedy's death; it 112 appeared when the body of President Eisenhower lay in state, and also appeared on the death of President Hoover, Johnson and other notable Americans. The night of February 12, as the Germans placed the bodies of the dead airmen before the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, completing their task, they stepped back and surveyed the darkened scene for a moment before entering their airships. As they watched, the apparition of the dead doughboy of the American Expeditionary Force in World War I was suddenly seen again. It gave a brisk salute and then vanished. The Germans themselves swear this appearance took place.
What arrangements were made with the next of kin is not known. Nevertheless, 30 men of all ranks were buried with full military honors at the cemetery. (Today in a nearby building a bronze plaque reposes, inscribed with the names of the young heroes – and how they died in the center of the Earth. The plaque will be erected in the year 2000 A.D.) [Bet it has not been done DC]
From Arlington Cemetery three of the German saucers stopped above the Capitol Building and two hovered over the White House where the Trumans lived. Simultaneously, all five shone powerful search lights on the buildings below. The Washington military was alerted. Then the German Commander spoke via the Air Force radio channel. He said: "This display of our strength is a warning. If we so wished we could destroy both your White House and Capitol with deadly rays and within five minutes both historic places would be only ashes. Send no more armed military expeditions below unless America wants full scale war," the German warned.
"If it is war you seek, then we shall fight you, but as for New Germany, we prefer peace and the friendship of America." The voice finished by saying "the real enemy of both our peoples is Russia." All night the German saucers hovered over Washington. Little did they suspect the U.S. chose not to show any of its military strength from the arsenal of over 500 laser equipped round wing planes hidden across the land. The German craft departed westward at 9:00 A.M. the next day in a burst of speed.
In 1948, acting independently of the Americans or other nations, the Russians, who had watched the 1947 Byrd foray in the Antarctic from an Antarctic base, sent a fully-armed wing of conventional combat aircraft to the earth's interior at the north. The Russians, told of the Americans' 1947 reception by the Germans at the South Pole, but uncertain of the outcome, elected to penetrate the North Pole entrance from their bases. The Russian planes were computer clocked by Americans passing Point Barrow, Alaska heading due east. Canadian bases on three northerly locations kept the Russian planes spotted. The American base reported 102 planes; the Canadian check points reported 97 planes.
The Russians' first aerial encounter was with the guardians of the North Pole entrance – descendants of the Vikings whom the Germans call the "old race." The Russian planes at first were challenged by the "old race" but were allowed to proceed when they claimed they were on a mission to New Germany in the southern hemisphere. The Russian wing, still intact, continued past the man-made orb of light at the equator of the earth's interior and sped toward the southern hemisphere where, in the Germans lion's den, seven UFO's were now waiting.
No Russian enemy plane escaped German wrath. One hundred planes and their crews perished. Those Russian bodies recovered were cremated. In 4-1/2 hours, German UFO's were over Moscow, brazenly scattering the ashes of the Russian dead over the capitol. As in the Washington incident, the Germans broke into the military air waves and taunted the Russians with the statement: "Here are the remains of your brave airmen you sent down to destroy us!"
Moscow's red alert sounded. And up into the skies to teach the invading Germans a lesson went Russian MIG fighters. One after another, the German machines easily disposed of all the Russian interceptors.
In defiance, the German Commander in his undamaged round wing plane hovered imperially above.
Then over the military frequencies that moments before cracked with Russian chatter of aerial combat, there came a final German voice: "Next time we will annihilate you."
The Germans flew off -- intact.
They would taunt the Russians over Moscow year after year after that memorial victory.
That day, when the squadron leader Von Ludwig landed in New Berlin, he patted his plane and commented: "I shall name her ‘Old Ironsides' in honor of today’s fight."
These books tell of the men who blazed new trails into the atmosphere of the upper and inner world. Even today, the names of these humble, Lindberg-like aviators must be kept secret, because of the knowledge they possess if it were known to those who are political adversaries of America in 1980.
In 1978 the authors were given an opportunity to review the logs and papers and make some valid judgments about the history of U.S. aerial progress in the 1940's. To understand the continuous interplay between the German and American endeavours in the attempt to conquer space via dual versions of the round wing plane, it was necessary first to see the log of Byrd's last flight into the inner world and his unauthorized confrontation with a superior force of New Germans.
The Byrd episode after his 1947 flight into the inner world is continued. Upon his release from the carrier's sick bay where he had been confined while in a state of shock, he was flown to Washington and appeared immediately to explain why he had fired on the Germans and disobeyed orders. His last instructions had been to go armed but not to open fire in the inner world under any circumstances. Hence, on appearing before the Joint Chiefs of Staff after his return he was downgraded for disobeying a written order. But for purposes of avoiding publicity and breaking security, the committee voted not to court martial him, though a Court of Inquiry was later called to decide on disciplinary action. After all, they argued, Byrd had taken in a squadron of specially built planes, with competent crews, and by his willful ego had sacrificed the lives of over 30 young airmen. Had the Germans not honorably saved the surviving American injured and returned them quickly to the surface aircraft carrier (as recorded in the committee minutes), the mood of the committee most certainly would have been to sentence Byrd. But the national security lid was still on the Antarctic foray. There is also an indication in the minutes that the image of Byrd created by his former explorations might be considered more important to future historians than his fiasco in the inner earth. Nevertheless everyone connected with the expedition considered it a tragedy -- except Byrd. An exhibit placed before the Court of Inquiry in 1947 contained five typed pages written by Byrd, telling of the "successful exploit." It was read in frozen disbelief by the Court of Inquiry. The navigator's brief one page resume told the real truth, along with witnesses on the Commander's plane and the survivors returned by the Germans.
The findings of the Court of Inquiry which were forwarded to the Joint Chiefs of Staff labeled Byrd "mentally incompetent." Furthermore, they recommended that he be allowed no further participation in the program of inner earth penetration, without further review, because of his insistence in boasting publicly about the episodes.
According to the notes of Byrd's briefing for his 1947 flight, Air Force intelligence had advised the Navy not to take him into confidence on the round wing planes built in America because in so doing he might be forced to tell the Germans of them if shot down.
The Byrd chapter on the Antarctic was tragically closed. In the next U.S. Air Force book opened deep underground in the Tombs were laid out the original records of the U.S. attempt to correct the Byrd fiasco.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff elected to drop what had amounted to a devious approach to the new German menace located inside the earth. The next penetration of the inner earth would be with round wing planes carrying competent commanders and trained crews. The new ships would be the sleek, 60 foot craft that had been redesigned in the last year of the war. Top speed of these latest models was over 7,000 miles per hour and they were filled with sophisticated electronic gear for control and navigation. Also built into the craft were long range precise, photographic cameras.
That first ship, Air Force reference number 16, left in April. The ship chosen for that trip could race the sun, beat the wind and chase the stars. One of the 12 men crew referred to her as the sweetheart of time and space. She was so fitted that cameras would photograph a 360 degree arc surrounding her flight pattern as she moved through the inner world. Her point of departure was Los Alamos, New Mexico, and briefing was at three a.m. If all went according to flight plan, at six a.m. she would enter the inner world at the 125 mile wide, South Pole opening.
The purpose of the flight was purely high level, photographic reconnaissance. The ship carried absolutely no armament. At the briefing, instructions were to fly through the South Pole opening's rock funnel at 5,000 miles per hour, proceeding on a course northward and emerging into the upper world again through the North Pole neck of the Arctic Ocean. As the American craft flew through the inner world, three small 16 foot photographic scout planes would leave her hold and do reconnaissance of specific urban and military sites. These small scouts, nicknamed fleas, flew at speeds in excess of 7,000 miles per hour, and returned safely to the 60 foot mother ship before leaving inner earth's air space. Once out of the inner earth the American ship was to land in British Columbia, where debriefing would take place.
The aerial trip was unbelievably successful, and so fast and uncomplicated to the crew that it was described by them as almost uneventful. But the expedition was less so to America's military strategists when they examined the photos. For beyond doubt the pictures accurately gave the U.S. its first authentic aerial panorama of the entire interior world. When the photos were evaluated it was decided to send a second flight as soon as maps could be completed and flight plans made ready.
In early June the second round wing plane (Air Force reference number 18) took off from British Columbia for the North Pole entrance. The plane commander was Major R. Davies. He had been told to proceed along the established aerial routing over the Beaufort Sea to a fix above the Canadian Queen Elizabeth Islands. At that coordinate he was to fly on his own reckoning at an elevation of only 3,000 feet. Flight instructions were simple up to the 85th parallel. At that map reference the navigator was cautioned to keep the surface waters in sight at all times and establish constant elevation readings by radar. It was already known to the Air Forces of Canada and the United States that a real danger existed of literally flying off the horizon in that concave area of the Arctic Ocean where the waters flowed deceptively into the throat of the planet. Ground elevation was also important in that area where compasses and instruments became erratic. Jonathon Caldwell, on an earlier training flight in 1943, had stumbled into that northern void while searching for a route to Europe across the top of the world. The Caldwell log and subsequent interview with Caldwell by Davies had prepared the crew for any disorientation, panic or confusion which might occur to the uninitiated venturing into the Earth from the top of the world. The journey into the interior of the Earth was of course made long before the age of satellites. But today NASA labels the geographic North Pole as imaginary -- the neutral zone or dead center of the Earth. In this center point of the 1,400 mile wide opening is the location of the imaginary North Pole or the end point of the northern latitudes. No sea or land area exists between the 90th and 85th degree latitudes; it is a gaping hole. Eighty five degree latitude is located approximately on the edge of the opening to the hollow interior of the Earth. (The true magnetic North Pole starts at 86/ East Longitude over the TAYMYR peninsula of Siberia.)
But in 1947 there was no navigational chart on how to reach the top of the world at the edge of the gaping hole that led to the interior. With all his sophisticated gear, an airman flying the throat of the ocean had to do so in airman's parlance "by the seat of his pants."
At 6 A.M. U.S. Air Force round wing plane number 16 struck the throat of the ocean at 500 miles per hour. Speed was corrected to 750 miles per hour as advised at the early morning briefing. As the plane descended into the ocean's abyss, she accelerated to the unbelievable speed of 5,000 miles per hour. All cameras were turned on as the craft began the 1,200 mile long and deep descent that would bring her out at the other end into another world. Still travelling at 3,000 feet elevation, the plane from the upper surface of the planet came into the interior over sparse settlements of Eskimos, much more advanced than their upper earth relatives. The American crew had already observed and photographed to their astonishment islands within the ocean's steamy throat that seemed to support animal life -- namely dinosaurs, extinct on the surface for an estimated million years. Now, in the Eskimo lands, they noted herds of seals off rocky outposts.
Following a southeasterly course they soon encountered another land mass and different civilization. Shortly thereafter they knew for an historical certainty the territory over which they were flying.
The ship's radar picked up the bogeys. Then visual sightings confirmed the presence of strangers coming up to meet them. This would be Major Davies' first test of will and diplomacy. The Major knew the object of the expedition was primarily exploratory, to obtain as much low level, photographic evidence as possible, and that the second reason for the journey into the earth's interior was to determine if any people encountered were warlike. Another primary objective was to obtain all the information possible about the establishments of the New Germans.
The investigating ships were round wing planes similar but smaller than the United States machine. Suddenly these eight to ten unidentified bogeys were upon the intruding ship from the upper world. Major Davies pressed a button. Across the bottom of the U.S. Air Force plane large green letters spelled out one word: PEACE. The word flashed on and off as an attention getter to the rising planes below. The attacking planes came on. Then a voice in excellent English broke over the American intercom. “Identify and establish purpose of air intrusion over Vikingland!"
Major Davies replied: "Our intrusion of your territory is not deliberate, or war-like. We are unarmed. Our intentions are peaceful. This is an American craft and we have come into this land solely to observe what the New Germans are doing and if they are warlike." The reply apparently satisfied the Viking Commander. He replied: “You say you come in peace. Go in peace. But leave our air space at once! Should you wish to visit us again officially, contact our surface intermediary, the Icelandic Government, and the request will be referred to proper authorities! Major Davies flew away and took his next random bearing on an observed orb of light suspended in the center of the interior. As they sped south, the cameras picked up cities and towns which were not dissimilar to those on the surface. They also saw cattle and horses and flocks of sheep tended by shepherds. They beheld it all, the urban and the rural. On high seas they even observed sailing ship's and noted the steady north to south trade winds.
The craft still had 2,000 miles of reserve power which he had not used. Unarmed as they were, if attacked they would rely on this reserve speed to develop evasive tactics or leave the scene of confrontation. The crew hoped if they came upon a hostile ship that it would not fire first and ask questions later -- too much later.
Within two hours over a zigzag course the ship came upon a new arid land. They had been told when they reached such an area to expect to meet New German round wing planes. The pre-flight briefing proved to be correct. Looking down they saw soldiers drilling on the ground in an unmistakable goose step fashion. Many barracks and construction camps were nearby as well as visual evidence of a new railroad line being laid.
The picture was almost serene, when from below anti-aircraft shells began bursting. The pilot shot up to 60,000 feet and remarked "I'll bet those shells have 'made in Germany' stamped on them." But the shelling was not maintained for long. On the bottom of the American ship the large green letters PEACE again flashed on and off. The anti-aircraft flak stopped. Helmeted German soldiers stared upwards at the ship which spoke in a language they understood. Continuing its random search, the American ship then flew over a large settlement with an established airport. Breaking into the American wave length a voice in German asked for identification and flight plan. Major Davies knew a second critical point had been reached in his reconnaissance of the inner world. The flight officer handed the mike to a lieutenant who spoke German, replying to the tower as follows: "We are a lost surface craft origin USA. We can't explain how we arrived here after our compasses went crazy. Instruments now working O.K., but navigator cannot identify landmarks. Can you give directions?" No German round wing plane took to the air. The cameras on the American craft continued to whir away at the city and its environs below. (Later study showed the city to be New Berlin.)
The German tower operator paused, as if in consultation. Then he replied, giving an explicit bearing on how to depart to the surface. The American craft, still speaking in German, thanked the tower and left the scene on a northerly compass bearing as directed. After flying over the city at 3,000 feet, the American craft began its northerly track and later turned back toward the equator of the interior where a diminutive ball of light acted as a marker.
An hour later speed was reduced as they came up to the interior sun. The light was not intense nor did it hurt the naked eyes. As they approached the huge 600 mile diameter orb, they noticed it resembled a gigantic China lantern, around the circumference of which there went a railed cat-walk. Plainly visible were huge doors leading to the interior where it was apparent the source of the diffused light was located. Closer aerial inspection did not reveal how the man-made orb was suspended in mid air. The crew noted that one side of the man-made sun was covered by a shield which, in slowly turning, provided daylight and darkness to the inner world -- as did the sun above.
While the American craft studied and photographed the scientific marvel, a third confrontation was occuring. From high above another squadron of unidentified Atturrean round wing planes descended on the lone American ship, which was strictly out of bounds in the inner sun area. The PEACE sign in green was again flashed on and the ship turned for the newcomers to see the sign. The challenge came abruptly. "Identify presence near sun and explain." The American commander quickly responded. The commander of the Atturrean ship then asked the surface craft to leave and his police squadron escorted the intruding ship back in a northerly direction towards the entrance at the top of the world.
In their flight of fantasy through the inner world the ship cameras also photographed a waterfall which dwarfed Niagara Falls. Nearby was a hydro-electric station. At another location in the continent where the Atturreans dwelt was seen an immense geyser of water throwing millions of gallons of steam and hot water into the air and forming a giant lake. From the reservoir a network of pipes was seen leading to cities many miles distant. The crew were now accustomed to various and changing environments. They came to the conclusion the inner world was not as densely populated as the upper world, but the next primitive tableau was unexpected. For in an unoccupied land in which there were no signs of civilization, the cameras came upon a time frame that went back into ancient history. In this area they actually saw a primitive tribe fighting an enemy with spears, bows and arrows. There is nothing new under the sun, even a man-made sun.
Unhindered and undamaged, the American round wing plane and her crew of six finally re-entered the air space of the Arctic Ocean. At the top of the throat to the outer world they took a bearing when compasses were stabilized, and the round wing plane headed for the secret air station in British Columbia. Eager officials would be waiting to hear whether the crew of the peace mission had succeeded in displaying the nation's strength with honor. If they had done so, the shame of the year before would have been nullified.
A new universal word PEACE had been flashed to all nations in the interior, whether the inhabitants spoke German or Scandinavian or the old language of the world. But even then, on reassessing the outcome of the journey to the interior, American leaders knew there were nations on the surface who would have come up to fight had their territory been violated even unintentionally.
On landing, the flight crew noted they had been nearly 24 hours on the mission. They were quietly welcomed home. The Commander explained briefly that the mission had been successful. The crew devoured breakfast and fell into their beds.
The exposed film was removed from the ship and taken to the processing lab. Twenty hours of photographs would be the visual result of the cameramen's skill. Later when the film was edited, the meteorological data studied, along with the record on the navigator's tape track, and radio confrontation dialogue, the U.S. would be provided with its first graphic understanding of the world within our world that had been kept hidden for millennium's.
After the films were developed, the pictures would show the inner atmosphere of clouds and rain and even a massive thunderstorm where bolts of lightning flashed in the same frightening way as they would have done on the surface. The debriefing took several days and experts from across the United States and Canada were called in for discussion.
In summing up the success of the flight to the hollow earth, the consensus of opinion was that (1) the races located in the interior of the earth were not hostile or warlike, and (2) the New Germans were now aware of America's round wing capabilities and probably had "not rebuilt their air force significantly enough for any renewed aggression against their old enemy. Perhaps more important, it was noted that the New Germans who were really the upper world Germans in a new setting, had not exhibited any hostility to the unarmed American visitor which they had surely recognized. Perhaps a new day was dawning.
The next question to which the U.S. would have to address itself would be not military but political.When and how would it be most feasible to open up a bilateral relationship with any or all of the nations in the inner world?
Thirty years would pass before that problem would be worked out.
On board were American military brass of all services plus the British, Canadian and Australian, as well as members of the other armed services. Following the briefing by his military advisors, President Truman was sufficiently alarmed to persuade the principal allies of the World War II into making a decisive commitment toward the future outcome of Planet Earth.
Twenty three days after Byrd's debriefing, the President's yacht was at anchor in Biscayne Bay, Florida. Here, in utmost secrecy, the world's leading nations and their chiefs-of-staff met to map strategy on how to react to an enemy that had not been defeated after all, and who might be renewing his air force in order to gain a tactical advantage over all the world in aircraft superiority and weaponry. All present believed that German military ambitions were continuing, and the British, French; and Americans openly surmised that a crisis existed in which democracy might have to fight another battle with Hitler's dictatorship.
The Byrd presentation of the New German fortress being built inside the earth was made to startled military guests. There followed proposals and counter proposals by which it was agreed that preparations for defense of the outer world should begin in the continent of Antarctica, both on and off shore, and that Alaska and Northern Canada, continuing in a line across Greenland to Russia also should be defended forthwith. Therefore, the defense postures formed during that period were related primarily to the polar regions.
In line with these various national outlooks, it was decided that the Antarctic discoveries of an opening to the interior of the earth and the German presence within the earth should be kept secret. The friendly outer terrestrials riding the skies would never permit confrontation against New Germany using the newly developed round wing planes and their weaponry. There was also the question of what the outer terrestrials' response would be if the upper earth nations took war into the hollow earth or vice versa. Thus, upper earth response at the Polar regions became conventional and it was decided that the round wing planes would be deployed secretly for surveillance only.
Henceforth, all nations agreed, the new allied military presence in the polar regions should increase and would be disguised under various names. There was Canadian Operation Pine Tree, and Dew Line in the northern hemisphere. High Jump and the Geophysical Year, with their variety of logistics and tactical exercises were held in the southern hemisphere. America's Greenland base at Thule would be a scientific ice station, and Canada's Baffin Island Station also would mock the truth. No mention would be made that the ear1y warning stations were located within short flight minutes of the Northern Polar entrance to the interior. No one would admit that McMurdo Bay in the Antarctic was the headquarters for any projected entrenchment.
As a result of these post war decisions, there extends across North America today a line of Arctic defenses from the Bering Strait to Greenland. Russia had its own early warning system above its 70th parallel. The world's defenses begun in the late 1940's have continued to be improved and serviced since that time.
In the Southern Hemisphere manned stations have been in existence since 1959, occupied by those signatory countries which, by treaty, police the sub-continent. West Germany is not party to the northern defense system nor do they contribute men, materials or money. Nor are the New Germans one of the Antarctic guardian nations, notwithstanding the fact that the Germans in the late 30's and early 40's probably explored and mapped the Antarctic more extensively than any other nation.
Many nations committed themselves to keep the true nature of their polar activities locked up. But what was easy to hide from the public in 1936 was not so in 1946 when batteries of press corps and advisors were required by Canada, America and foreign governments to suppress the truth that a new aerial age existed, even those newspapermen who managed to wrangle junkets to Polar stations. As suppression continued, certain military government public relations agencies used the written tactics of fabrication and deceit to hide the secret of the ages.
In 1947 the government was inclined to believe that the American people would have demanded immediate war with the Germans, and the government wanted to avoid that. But in hindsight we now know that both the Germans and allies were tired of all-out war. As for the so-called flying saucers, most governments continue to believe that withholding the truth on so called flying saucers would prevent mass hysteria. They pay science spokesmen to ridicule the existence of the round wing plane. But there are nonetheless some in authority, particularly in the U.S. who believe that a gradual release of the facts would be propitious.
About the time Byrd himself was being officially gagged, it was realized by the World War II allies that the entire geographical discovery of an entrance to an inner world at the poles had been made more complex by German existence in that new land. For if the existence of the inner world was publicly revealed, the military complications of the German presence would, of necessity, be revealed and vice versa. No one in authority in the United States, Britain, France, or Russia for that matter, cared to think of the New German war machine rebuilding a "Fourth Reich" which its founder had promised would last 1,000 years.
Whatever force it was that kept the polar antagonists checkmated, earth skies and particularly the Poles, were filled for years with alien ships probing the frigid skies at each end of the planet.
The aftermath of Operation High Jump and Byrd's expedition into the interior was tragic for Byrd and his family. He had already been shut off the air in Valparaiso, Chile, while making emotional remarks about momentous discoveries stemming from his polar exploration. A similar embarrassment later occurred over NBC radio in New York. Government sponsored denials of an Interior world were then put forth, and Admiral Byrd was told by President Truman that henceforth anything he said to the media would be censored. However, Byrd would not be silenced. He told authorities that he planned to write a book on his experiences at the Poles regardless of the government's gag order.
One day in October, 1954, Admiral Byrd went into seclusion. He spent the next three years in a private sanitorium near Tarrytown, New York, from which he did not communicate with those outside with the exception of certain relatives.
Numbed by the secrecy order for silence, the aerial adventurer, upon leaving the sanatorium, signed an agreement that he would never again mention his experiences in the hollow earth. This American explorer, first to spend a winter alone in the Antarctic, first to cross the South Pole by air, first to fly into the earth's hollow interior from the North Pole, kept silent until he died in 1957 at the age of 56.
As an adventurer, he had the daring and brashness that made him the equivalent of Sir Walter Raleigh or Francis Drake. But that same opportunism that led him on to new frontiers, along with his insatiable public ego, were the very characteristics that finally branded him unacceptable to his government when collective secrecy was demanded.
It is easy for an author to fix blame or formulate conclusions. However, there are still too many unknown contributing circumstances to totally comprehend the events of 1946 and 1947 and the attempts to keep suppressed the revelations of the inner world. As for Admiral Richard E. Byrd, his outstanding human weakness might have been that frustration caused him to die from a broken heart because he or no one else was allowed to evaluate his contribution to his country and to mankind in general.[Well if the author thought it was hard in 1980 to address the suppression and silence,here in 2019 it becomes easier because of the continuing cover up of events.I will note, that the PTB,typically decided to line the pockets of defense contractors with war implements,just as they do to this day DC]
Post War Positions of Major Nations
But although Byrd’s 1947 Inner World encounter with the Germans immediately hardened the polar defense posture of World War II Allies, the political events of 1945 and 46 also tempered attitudes and dismembered the wartime alliance even before the guns were silenced.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt remained more intransient and antagonistic towards the Germans than Churchill or De Gaulle whose countries had suffered severe agonies of war. Roosevelt’s German animosity was exceeded only by that of Stalin. In 1945 Roosevelt had called for maximum obliteration of major German cities by British and American bombers during the final weeks of the war. But Churchill who was to concur, had deliberately put off sanctioning the scheme because he could not forget the needless deaths of over 36,000 Londoners during the blitz of the German V Bombs, as well as the destruction of historical English landmarks of monumental significance. The early Roosevelt/Churchill camaraderies had not fully blossomed into an abiding friendship as Churchill noted an increasing ecomania and unnecessary military truculence on the part of the American president.[FDR was a piece of s*%t war criminal who was not only responsible for the destruction and death of civilians across Germany and it's cities AFTER the war had been decided,he is responsible for the present day policy of shock and awe that has left nations like Iraq, Libya,and others in shambles from bombing. If Americans had been held accountable after WW 2, for their war crimes along with the Russians,things would be different today,but no deterrent means no change. DC]
As World War II drew to a close, the most pressing need was to decide the fate of a defeated Germany. Hence the peace talks at Casablanca, Tehran, Caira, Yalta, Potsdam and Dunbarton Oaks during the last years of the war.
Of particular significance to the story of the round wing plane development, as well as the future of Europe and the world nations, was the Yalta conference which began in February 1945. That conference revealed frightening events that almost resulted in the western Allies being the post-war losers of World War II and the Soviet empire becoming the undisputed champion of the world.[Been telling people were years that the despicable FDR was a straight out communist DC]
Architects of the disaster formula were Joseph Stalin, the crafty evil premier of the USSR, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt of the USA, whom Churchill accused of having gone mad while at Yalta, as corroborated later by testimony of three American physicians before a congressional committee hearing. Therefore, the Yalta episode is briefly sketched herein to show how Roosevelt’s tryst with Stalin at that conference not only influenced the defense posture of the English speaking allies and etched the boundaries of occupied Europe after 1946, but also hid the fact of the round wing plane development under stricter cover up.
Roosevelt’s departure for Yalta was arranged with paranoiac secrecy far beyond precautions necessary for his safety. Under the code name Argonaut, not even Vice President Truman was told the presidential destination. And the special train carrying the VIPs and over 300 staff advisors was broken up at its destination of Newport News, Virginia, when after detraining, the Presidential train was camouflaged and its locomotive tenders even switched to prevent identity. In addition, the train was repainted and the serial numbers changed before the cars were rerouted to different destinations. For years, writers alluded to it as the mystery train that vanished into thin air and even associated its disappearance with the Bermuda Triangle.
From the mystery train, the Yalta party under Roosevelt boarded the cruiser Quincy under command of Capt. Elliott M. Senn, and one of the largest escorts in naval history left port with overhead planes, sub chasers and surface ships. From Malta, the American party, bound 1,250 miles distant for Russia, left in an aerial armada of over 200 American planes including sixteen Swift P38 Lightnings which would fly guard over the President’s plane, flown by col. Ray W. Ireland. In adjoining planes under the fighter umbrella would be dignitaries such as Secretary of State Stettinius, First Assistant Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Admiral King and Admiral Leahey and Chief of Staff George C. Marshall, special advisors to the President Mr. Harry Hopkins, Justice Jimmy Byrnes, Mr. A. V. Harriman and Mr. Alger Hiss. President Roosevelt’s daughter Anna, the wife of Lt. Col. Boettiger was also present as well as Press Secretary Steve Early who was required to leave his three pool reporters at Casablanca.
Except for press coverage, (no releases till Roosevelt arrived home in Portsmouth after the conference) Yalta was the most carefully staged conference of the several held in the final days of World War II. As hosts, Russian intelligence rendered to Roosevelt all the hero worship of the occasion almost ignoring the Britisher Churchill. Vice Premier Molotov welcomed the US Present as he landed on russian soil at 12:10 on February 3, 1945 where an honor guard was lined up in the 40 minus degree cold. The Russians had converted a jeep for the few minutes occasion in order that President Roosevelt could inspect the troops to the tune of a brass band playing the Stars and Stripes. Later, in an American Packard, the Russian guest drove 80 miles to Yalta where honor guards lining the route saluted the American President every 50 feet. The dignitaries were housed at the grandest residence in the area, the 50 room Livadia Palace, built in 1911 by the last Russian Czar.
When the conference opened, Stalin continued his contrived flattery by demanding as host that the ailing Roosevelt be made Chairman. The two were soon calling each other Joe and Franklin. The British delegation, especially Churchill and Anthony Eden were appalled at the uninhibited familiarity between the American and Russian leaders. Top Americans also began to wince, but unknown to practically all open delegates, Stalin and Roosevelt were most communicative to each other while talking over the phones in their private suites.
Initially, the Russians under Stalin openly asked that they be given control of most of Europe including France, northern Italy, the Balkans, Greece, Crete, Syria, Palestine, 2/3 of Finland, the Baltic countries, Iceland, part of Greenland and even a return of Alaska. The Russians then planned to take Spain by force. In the far east, Stalin asked for Port Arthur, all of Manchuria, Outer Mongolia. He also proposed invasion of China by Russia to remove Mao Te Sung, who was so independent that he preferred his own brand of Communism rather than become a puppet of the Soviets.
The British team, long wary of Soviet aims and their brazen disregard for the Western Allies, pressed for the division of Europe much as it is today. (Following Yalta, British armies under Montgomery threatened to team up with the Germans and drive on to Moscow if the Russians took one foot of territory west of the Elbe.) Eisenhower and other American leaders including Patton were in accord, but Roosevelt vetoed the plan. During the Yalta conference, Churchill consistently made his point that Poland should remain free of occupied Russian troops and that Germany should not be dismembered, else it would rise again. But he remained adamant that France though defeated and not a victor in the war, should be left intact and unoccupied.
During the conference, the Roosevelt/Stalin attachment blossomed daily and the American president bathed in the ego build-up which Stalin and his aides showered on him. The Russian intelligence had long guessed what Roosevelt wanted most. It was not mainly concern over division of European lands, but instead his declared nomination for President of the newly evolving United Nations, the founding of which the winners of World War II had been drafting during the war years. Stalin was also aware that to head the New World Order was Roosevelt’s greatest dream, occupying his every moment of free thought. Therefore, Stalin recognized that Roosevelt would allow nothing to stand in his way to his becoming head of the new planetary body. As Stalin daily observed the frail and failing Roosevelt, he must have known that Roosevelt had thrown all his old caution to the winds in order to get support for presidency of the coming body of nations – and he also must have shrewdly surmised there was nothing to lose by nominating Roosevelt whose life tenure appeared to be short. The crippling polio that Roosevelt had fought all his packed-full political life, had left him a weakened man. So with time on the side of Stalin, he could not lose by nominating Roosevelt to be head of the United Nations in exchange for most of Europe plus other concessions.
The Yalta conference lasted five weeks and by the third week, the British suspecting an ominous purpose beneath Stalin’s pretext to befriend Roosevelt, tapped the telephone line going into Roosevelt’s private suite in the Livadia Palace. Immediately Churchill was amazed to discover that Stalin and Roosevelt had made their own secret agreement for division of Europe regardless of the open negotiating sessions and also how the two conspirators regarded the new world of nations as they envisioned a revised constitution. As the conference continued, reverberations of the secret intrigue which Stalin was surreptitiously conducting with Roosevelt, reached the ears of the Acting President of the U.S.A., Harry S. Truman, in Washington, U.S.A.
A bewildered Vice President Truman had purposely been alerted by two leading congressmen and another then unknown source that President Roosevelt was undermining the Allied cause at Yalta and that something had to be done – quickly. It was at that point that William Donovan, President Roosevelt’s choice to head the O.S.S. (Forerunner of the CIA) was called by Acting President Truman. Truman’s message to Donovan was crisp. “Meet me in Arlington Cemetery today at one P.M.!”
At the rendezvous, Truman confided his concern to the Intelligence Chief, and asked to be brought up to date on the Yalta happenings. Donovan, first of all, told the Acting Chief that on Roosevelt’s orders, his intelligence team had not been taken to the conference, but nevertheless, an O.S.S. man was there in the disguise of a naval chaplain. Donovan said the code name of the agent was Father John, a bonafide Catholic priest. Then Donovan told Truman it was Father John whose reports had alerted him and other friends in Washington.
Donovan and Truman at that meeting agreed to add to Father John’s reports and discover first hand what really was happening at Yalta. The acting president then asked General Donovan what was needed to get the counter espionage started on the Roosevelt/Stalin dealings and Donovan replied, five thousand dollars in my hands today and a fast plane to London. Truman went to his own personal account and drew the necessary $5,000 which Donovan would need for funding the trip to Yalta without government vouchers, and at Andrews Air Force Base, one of the five new American made jets was standing waiting for the OSS head. In London, the head of Donovan European operations was asked to stand by. He went under the code name of Major General Charles Lawson, a graduate of Princeton.
Forty-eight hours later, secret O.S.S. agent General Lawson had flown over the “hump” to Moscow via Leningrad. There at the American Embassy, a known O.S.S. agent confirmed that something wrong was taking place at Yalta between Roosevelt and Stalin. Getting a lift to Yalta in a Russian dispatch plane, the Russians though he was being called by Roosevelt. To hide identity from Americans who might recognize him, General Lawson was billeted with a Britisher. Three hours after arrival at Yalta headquarters, the American OSS agent had tapped Roosevelt’s telephone going into Livadia Palace. What he first heard confirmed the rumours: Stalin, Molotov and Roosevelt were carrying on a conversation in English with Molotov interpreting difficult passages for Stalin. The Russians talked hopefully of a New World with Roosevelt the global leader of the projected body of United Nations scheduled for its inaugural meeting in San Francisco sometime in 1947. Roosevelt showed his elation by the honor even over the phone. There was however, one small catch – something the Russians wanted in return. Roosevelt knew all about returning favors, but even General Lawson was stunned to hear Molotov tell Roosevelt to lock all his doors from the inside that night and send out all personnel, particularly security people. At 12 midnight, Stalin and Molotov would visit Roosevelt and his daughter Sis alone in the apartment to discuss a contractual agreement. They said they would come through a secret passageway that ended at the wall of the guest apartment occupied by the American president and his daughter.
That evening bugs were planted in Roosevelt’s apartment. General Lawson waited expectantly as 12 midnight approached. Precisely on the hour Stalin and Molotov were heard to arrive. The President’s daughter Sis listened to the knock on the hidden panel and apparently looking at the wall, the agent heard her say: “Do come in, Gentlemen, the President is expecting you!”
Some small talk ensued as heard on the tape and then Stalin thrilled Roosevelt by extolling how he so expertly chaired the Yalta meetings and that he was Earth’s best choice to head the forthcoming United Nations assembly. Stalin asked only one favor in return and he spoke bluntly in English:
“In return for our assured support of your desire to head the world body of nations in the post war years, we want the plans for your round wing plane.”
The Russians had made their bid. What the Germans had paid a million dollars for in 1936 when they bought the crude Caldwell plans, Stalin now wanted not only half the World but also the plans of the round wing plane.
There was a silence as Roosevelt paused, still reflecting the earlier Russian flattery to propel him into stardom as head of the world. Finally, the sick U.S. President spoke. “I see no reason why Russia should not share the secret of the round wing plane. As Russia is to be our ally in a New World of one nation under the United Nations body which I would head, everyone should share the benefits of the great round wing plane and its motor.” [Fu&#ing Commie DC]
Stalin then withdrew from his pocket an agreement in English, which in return for the round wing secret (which first was to be delivered by Roosevelt), they would use Russian influence to make him head of the New United World Order of Nations. Vice President of the new body would be Joseph Stalin and Secretary General would be A.V. Molotov. All three parties signed and Sis witnessed the signature of her father, the head of state of the United States of America.
The next day a smiling Roosevelt met Churchill and said in parting: “I think it’s time to consider giving the Russians the plans for the American round wing plane.” Churchill glared at his former friend and replied. “Believe me! I well know you’ve been tricked by the flattery of that Brigand Stalin.” And looking squarely at Roosevelt, Churchill ended the conversation by adding, “And you, Sir, have gone mad!”
Within four days, General Charles Lawson would be back before Truman, where he and key members of the Senate-Congress would hear the taped story of how Roosevelt agreed to give Russia without congressional approval or advice of the U.S. military, whatever part of Europe the Russians desired, as well as the secret of the ages, the round wing plane.
Little did the members know that Estes Plateau, the visitor from another planet (Venus) who called on Roosevelt in 1943, had reminded him that his personal ambitions might some day place him the same category as Hitler and Stalin.
Yalta ended. The Americans came home. And President Roosevelt proceeded to keep his part of the terrible Russian bargain. Plans of the latest round wing plane were delivered to the Oval Office and placed in his desk.
One morning of late March 1945, Soviet Ambassador Andre Gromyko arrived at the White House for an audience with President Roosevelt. When the Russian left he carried an unmarked package that inside held the plans to the round wing plane on which Johnathon E. Caldwell and thousands of others from America, Canada and Britain had spent their careers perfecting.
Less than ten days later Gromyko asked for a second audience with the U.S. President. The Russian upon returning the plans of the round wing plane to Roosevelt told him that Russian engineers had unmistakenly proved the blue prints were fakes and bore no relationship to the true design and motivational power of an operational plane.
The Russian diplomat was correct. On the night in which the plans lay locked in Roosevelt’s desk, an unknown O.S.S. man entered with the help of Secret Service personnel and exchanged the authentic blueprints with fake ones.
The same day on which Gromyko brought back the doctored plans, Roosevelt called in Vice President Truman and explained that “plans of the round wing plane he had requested had been substituted.” Without explaining his own duplicity, the President asked Truman to get the proper plans as soon as possible and find who had substituted them or drawn false ones.
Vice President Truman agreed to the order, but as part of the task he urged that President Roosevelt first take a quiet vacational rest in his favorite spa, Warm Springs, Georgia. Truman promised that upon return the plans would be ready, and for the time being he believed that Roosevelt’s absence would solve the immediate problem of preventing the round wing secret from falling into enemy hands. Roosevelt thought Truman’s suggestion a perfect way to recuperate Yalta and he made ready to leave immediately.
On April 5, Roosevelt died in Warm Springs and among the first to hear of his death and breathe a sigh of relief was Winston Churchill of England. Top U.S. air Force officers were also pleased as were untold others aware of Roosevelt’s perfidy. President Truman immediately sealed the Yalta papers of his deceased predecessor among which included the round wing gift to Russia.
As the body of the late President lay in the closed casket guarded by four Secret Service men, Eleanor Roosevelt asked that it be opened so she could view her husband for the last time. The lid was lifted and for a few minutes she looked at the man whose vision had made the building of the round wing plane on a friendly international basis possible, and who took America into World War II, but whose ambition in the final days of his illness lead him to try and give away the greatest invention on the planet, the round wing plane. Had he not been stopped by the O.S.S. whose job it was to guard the nation’s secrets, the military and science programs that the Anglo/Canadian/American team had developed, would have been purloined by the Soviets, whose real goal was domination of the World.
Harry Truman who learned to read the foibles of human character during his days with the Kansas City Pendergast political machine, looked contemptuously at the stocky Russian in knee high boots, baggy knee pants and khaki shirt: “I’ll call you Marshall Stalin and you address me as Mr. President!”
Because of the new American hard line under Truman, the Americans and British kept most of Europe free from occupied Soviet control.
As a result of the military fear which the Stalin/Roosevelt agreement engendered, a tight cover-up prevailed over the round wing apparatus in the U.S.A., Canada and Britain. Even elected congressmen in the U.S.A. and members of parliament in Canada and Britain, or those appointed to the U.S. Senate or the Canadian and British upper houses, were kept from the deepening secrets of the round wing plane, whether of a military, science or technological nature. As the security ranks closed, it became an indictable offense in Canada and Britain to publicly discuss or write about the phenomena, while in the U.S.A. other punitive and secret measures of censorship were employed.
Thus the round wing apparatus, which originally lodged itself in the security of the military and science worlds as a hidden technological process, gradually became a fortified position of mind power. The round wing security division often degraded those who inquired about the phenomena, and those human beings who ventured to expose the truth became enemies within the state to be destroyed if necessary. In short, by its covert composition, the guardians of the round wing plane complex had to circumvent the laws of the state to survive and continue, the Freedom of Information Act eventually helped to right the wrongs of the cover-up by the round wing plane establishment.
(For preparation of this chapter, 78 year old CIA General Charles Lawson (not his right name) came out of retirement to aid the researcher and complete the book. When the OSS intelligence records were read at the National Archives (including the Stalin/Roosevelt agreement on the round wing plane), it was evident why the anglo American security ranks were closed more tightly after 1945. General Lawson is considered by President Reagan and present and past CIA directors as the greatest living legendary figure of World War II.)

PART II Chapter XIV Men From Atlantis
137s
"Dropped the empty gasoline drums by means of ejection chute in aircraft floor. After several hours, gross weight reduced enough to gain height and cross the mountain rim.
"4:20 P.M. -- Arrived at the edge of the valley, sun was still bright in the sky. We started down following the contour of the ground taking note of the terrain as we descended. At first, slope is gradual then it becomes steeper as though one were going down the side of a mountain. (Navigator now concerned that too much excess was burned off.)
"4:30 P.M. -- Ice Cap beginning to get thinner, now beginning to see the exposed side of the mountain. Our outside temperature gauge has also recorded a 10 degree rise from 60 below zero, observed at the start of the descent.
"5:00 P.M. -- We are still following a slope down, the ice is now very thin on the rocks that cover the slope, see some black spots that could be coal, sun is still high in the sky, temperature continues to show a slow steady rise, it could even be tropical at the bottom of the valley, maybe even a Shangri-La only time will tell.
"5:30 P. M. - - Altimeter shows drop of about one mile since we entered the valley. We have traveled some 300 plus miles in a down slope, sides seem to be gradually getting steeper.
"6:00 P.M. -- Ice completely gone, rocks now bare, temperature shows a steady rise, getting warmer as we go deeper, all of a sudden we seem to have hit a bottomless pit in which the sides slope straight down, compass gone completely crazy and is not working at all. We are now spiraling downward, the sun is still shining, but gets dimmer as we descend.
"7:00 P.M. -- We have been descending into the hole for almost an hour, air outside continues getting warmer, a few minutes ago we passed a small waterfall from which steam seemed to be coming, we circled so that our photographer could get a picture. As the sun was dim, we had to use flood lights to enable a good photograph.
"8:00 P.M. -- We are nosing down as if traveling on level ground, the compass now not working at all, altimeter has shown a steady fall, instruments indicate our ground speed has slowed to about 50 miles per hour. Why are we traveling so slow?
"9:00 P.M. -- Calculate we have traveled down for at least 100 miles from the top of the hole, fuel is half gone, dropped another empty gas tank. (Extra gasoline cans held 100 gallons each, made of aluminum 1/8" thick.) It fell horizontally toward the wall as if being pulled toward ground; readings are crazy here, haven't enough fuel to travel further into the earth. (Bell has sounded indicating fuel supply in main tanks half gone.) We’ll turn back and properly explore on future expedition. Our fuel will get us back if we start now, radio is dead, no contact. (Crew were confused because though not weightless, they were able to walk up the sides and on roof of the plane, and remain perpendicular.) Four synchronized clocks on board plus crew's watches kept time, but, later it was shown all clocks and watches had gained seven hours.
"10:00 P.M. -- We are now traveling up at faster speed than we went down, and it as if we were traveling along level ground, no explanation of it, it is starting to get cooler outside as we move towards the surface.
11:00 P.M. -- We are now getting near the top where the steep drop off started, have given orders to fly a right angle from our course to determine the diameter of the shaft, cold is starting to get intense outside again.
"12:00 Midnight -- We have traveled for about an hour and we have returned to approximately our starting point, navigator believes hole to be over 100 miles in diameter. We are now ascending and steadily gaining speed with wind in our rear, temperature outside gets colder, speed increases automatically.”
FOOTNOTE: Byrd later made a special report on how his speed changed without pilot aid from 300 miles per hour on the surface down to about 50 miles per hour descending the hole or shaft. He also told how the temperature went from minus 60 degrees fahrenheit on the surface to more than plus 60 degrees fahrenheit at the point of return during his descent. (They also reported seeing steam coming out of more than one hole in the rocks and discovered cloud formations within the 125 mile shaft. Their instruments also recorded a steady stream of air corning from deep within the shaft which he felt accounted for their decreased speed in descent. The Admiral recorded that the feeling within the great shaft to the interior was uncanny as if one were on a different planet.)
“1:00 A.M. -- We are now out of the shaft and going up on the slope; have the movie camera taking shots of all rocks and looking for signs of life or vegetation as we ascend, ground ice forming and getting thicker as we go up.
"2:00 A.M. -- We are now at top of valley and will fly across to record the distance. Can barely see the sun corning up in the north. At this time of year it stays up most of time. About four hours of night.
"3:00 A.M. -- We are across the top, finally, navigator calculated it approximately 500 miles in diameter at the top of the funnel. We are now heading for home base and the carrier."
While in the throat of the funnel (or as Byrd called it, the spiral of the screw) the crew saw in the distance a formation of at least five UFO's converging from deeper in the interior. This sighting was also tracked on their navigational radar. As the UFO formation reached Byrd's unarmed plane, a craft positioned itself on each wing tip of the American plane. Byrd's photographer continued to photograph his silent pacers which revealed clearly defined German swastikas on their tops and bottoms.
Actually, the German circular winged planes made no warlike maneuvers nor did they make radio contact with Byrd on that particular expedition. Bold, but not foolish, Byrd's pilot was instructed to take no evasive action, and the photographer advised to continue photographing with the still cameras and automatics. Later, over 300 interior photos sent to the National Science Foundation and the National Archives, would comprise the evidence which Admiral Byrd and his crew brought back.
"1:00 P.M. -- We are now back on the Aircraft carrier having landed with no problem. After a good rest, we will fly to New Zealand tomorrow for immediate return to the United States." According to the clocks on board the Falcon aircraft, the flight lasted 31 hours but aircraft carrier time showed the Falcon had been absent 23 hours. Upon his arrival at the aircraft, Byrd sent a coded report to Washington; then the Admiral and his crew rested for three full days on the carrier. Besides the coded report a fast reconnaissance aircraft took special documents and film to Washington via Sydney, Christchurch and Panama. Upon Byrd's later arrival in the United States, the Admiral was immediately escorted to a top secret meeting at the Pentagon with the heads of various armed services.
Extracts from his log were read and hundreds of feet of movie footage were shown and explained to the military brass.
(Today, the specially built Falcon is under wraps at Wright Patterson Field, Dayton, Ohio. When the facts of this expedition are released by the Navy, the Byrd plane will go on display at the Smithsonian Institute).
The log book of the Falcon, written by the navigator and signed by Byrd was formerly stored in a safe in a single room in the National Archives, used only for the custody of this historical document. It could not be seen without a Presidential order. It was briefly examined by the authors in 1976 for one hour while two security personnel stood by. A second examination in 1977 was permitted, with the help of Senator Lawton Chiles of Florida. In 1978 the log was moved to underground historical vaults in the U.S. Air Force Kensington Tombs.
After the movie showing of the Byrd Antarctic expedition, a meeting of the joint chiefs of staff was held with President Harry S. Truman presiding. Conclusions of that historic meeting were recorded by vote that immediate plans should be made for Byrd to return to the bottomless hole at the Southern end of the world, penetrate into the interior, and locate the German base with its round wing planes. The date for re-entry was set for February 16, 1947. The American squadron would again ride against the Germans on conventional, propellor driven, fixed wing aircraft. As for Byrd, he was still not told of the Jefferson round wing project.
Thus there was continued the coverup of America's activities in the Antarctic that was to prevent the public from knowing the true intentions of the United States and its post-war allies.
Chapter XI
Byrd Stalks the Missing Nazis
On February 16, 1947, Admiral Richard E. Byrd led his squadron of eight propeller driven Falcon
Bombers to the South Pole to test German resistance. Each plane was powered by four Pratt &
Whitney engines and tuned with precision for the endurance flight into the unknown interior of the earth.
The planes were fully armed, but orders from President Truman was that Byrd was not to fire on any
German craft he met in the hollow earth. As the squadron repeated the flight pattern executed the year before, Byrd and his crew surveyed the terrain. Only this time, besides his own crew, a total of 60 astonished combat veteran Americans were descending in a straight southerly line towards the interior of a planet that was presumed to be of a solid molten core. They carefully noted that the mouth of the double funnel or "screw" as Byrd called it, had a 500 mile opening in the bottom of the Antarctic valley that tapered down to a diameter of 125 miles. Through this opening they would fly for 800 miles towards the interior, before emerging again in a vortex-like aperture inside the earth.
Gradually, the bottom of the hole to the interior widened as it did at the topside until the squadron of Falcons found themselves entering into a hollow world within a world. Above the planes the crew saw what appeared to be sky and clouds. Below was sea and land just as above. They were now in the interior of the hollow earth which Byrd in 1929 had described as "that enchanted continent in the sky - - a land of everlasting mystery". (Whereas on the outer surface of the planet a direct line of vision on the convex surface is seven miles, a straight visual sighting on the surface of the earth's interior would be ad infinitum except for air impurities.)
Compasses on the aircraft strangely enough returned to normal upon their entrance to the interior of the earth. They were now descending further inside the earth's sphere, flying in an atmosphere identical to that on the outside of the planet. The seas and land masses clung to the interior walls and the void between was filled with clouds and light in which there were seen mirages of the sea and terrain below. As the outside earthlings sped on at 259 miles per hour every sight they beheld triggered new stimuli of curiosity. They were not flying into a molten mass and the only heat and light energy source came from a diminutive misty ball of fire, an interior sun that seemed to hang suspended in front of them in the center of the globe's interior.
The land masses below were protrusions on the inside of the earth's 800 to 1,200 mile thick mantle. The flyers observed one major difference from the outside of their planet. The interior appeared to have a greater land surface, for as they continued south, their visions widened in this new concave world surrounding them. There were no celestial bearings, no Pole Star or planet Venus on which to take a dead reckoning. Each hoped their squadron could find its way out.
In this unbelievable world of fantasy, Admiral Richard E. Byrd commanding eight navy Falcons and 60 airmen, went stalking Germans.
A bellicose nation from the earth's surface had broken into the interior in search of another Aryan race, with whom they had fought two world wars in the present century. Was the "enemy" here in this lair? And would he fight?
Byrd had taken his squadron further than he himself had ventured the year before. He was now recording a distance of over 2,400 air miles from base.
Still flying north at approximately 10,000 feet, Byrd's navigator, Captain Ben Miller, of Navy air arm, spotted what appeared to be an airfield. (Only hours before Capt. Miller had joined Byrd's crew. He had temporarily turned over to his second in command the command of his carrier from which the flight departed when Byrd's original navigator had taken ill at the last moment.) All eyes of the American squadron peered down and confirmed the sighting. A closer scrutiny revealed various fixed wing aircraft lined up in rows and high powered lenses picked out their identity markings. Swastikas, the emblems of Nazi Germany, were clearly visible.
The American squadron flew on. They reached a point of 2,700 miles within the earth before the order was given by Byrd to return. The cameras on Byrd's plane whirred away as a pictorial account of his journey was made.
An hour later the planes returned over the same compass bearing. Down below they had seen rows of buildings on their trip north and endless planes at a particular bearing. Now these were gone. (The pictures developed by National Defense later showed the airport had been quickly camouflaged.) Suddenly, the Falcon pilots observed that they had uninvited company. Above them and behind on their tails, were five unmarked round wing planes, which the Germans had finally elected to expose.
Byrd had come to this new German world poorly prepared for decisions on the conduct of aerial confrontation. He was primarily an explorer. The Joint Chiefs of Staff had assessed his capabilities and at the last minute briefing Byrd was ordered not to fire on any Germans if he encountered them in flight. Those instructions exist today and were explicit. In addition, Byrd did not evaluate his squadrons vulnerability in the present air strategy which the five round wing planes controlled. And worse, he regarded the German piloted round wing planes as his natural enemy with whom there could be no compromise. Yet, Byrd was not a combat admiral, and suddenly he was catapulted into making a decision whether to accept or decline aerial combat. Did he fail at that time to discern that his "enemy", so called, had abandoned the propeller or even jet powered aircraft of World War II vintage? Certainly Byrd was cognizant from his experience the year before that the Germans now rode the sky in advanced design aircraft that made his conventional Falcon aircraft completely outmoded.
But, on the other hand, giving Admiral Byrd the benefit of the doubt, did he purposely intend to confront the Germans and make them show their hand? No one knows what illogical drive motivated him in his last moment decisions, but they were not the result of any wise on-the-spot military sagacity or desire for survival. The only thing that can be said on behalf of Byrd is that the round wing planes were conundrums that in his mind produced a panic.
Byrd had already given orders to his own gunners to be prepared to fire (and his co-pilot reminded him the order should be rescinded). Therefore, all of his aircraft were in a state of combat readiness. Perhaps ten seconds remained in which the Admiral could have changed his mind.
Then Byrd received an unexpected message on his wave length from outside his aircraft. "Admiral Byrd, this is General Kurt Von Ludwig, Commander of the flying ships you see above. Our fire power has your squadron covered.”
The same German Commander who was interviewed to substantiate this episode continued: "World War II is over. Leave us alone and return to your base. However, if you wish to land at our station in peace, we shall receive you Americans in peace for you are not our enemies. Our aircraft and weapons are so superior to yours that I advise you not to fire on us. There is no chance for your squadron to survive our attack if you insist on fighting. I would also remind you that you are over territory controlled by New Germany and that you are here under our sufferance."
Commander Byrd listened but did not reply. When the German had finished speaking, Byrd gave his order in two words: "Open Fire!" His aircraft hardly had time to comply before the sky seemed to explode.
Those Falcons hit by the saucers' laser beams broke up and spiralled or nose dived to earth where the crews were killed on impact. From what looked like hidden anti-aircraft gun sites on the land below there emanated pencil-thin broken beams of red light. An American witness in one of the planes struck with this ray weapon said, ''the ray seemed to let us down gradually and our pilot was helpless to maintain control; we had to ditch. Those who could, bailed out."
Admiral Byrd watched his entire supporting aircraft plummeting out of the sky nearby. Suddenly, the voice of the German Commander broke into his wave length again. "Commander Byrd, you are a fool. You have sacrificed your own men. You were warned. Now leave this land and never return. Leave at once." Byrd was shaken and quickly went into shock. Miller took over the controls and pointed the aircraft for the opening that led to the topside of the world. Byrd had carried out his orders to find the Germans. He had entered the young lion's den; but he was no Daniel.
The scene that followed as the American planes crashed to earth was not reminiscent of a wartime landing in hostile enemy territory. American survivors picked up by the Germans were interviewed in 1977 to verify the German version of what took place.
The Germans immediately mounted an all-out rescue attempt in order to save the American airmen. Some of the crashed American planes were not severely disabled. From these the occupants quickly crawled out with their hands over their heads. They were met by Germans who immediately disarmed them and asked them to drop their hands, saying that they were in friendly territory. German crews hurriedly raced to the totally demolished American planes, extinguished fires, and removed bodies in an attempt to save lives. Twenty six live Americans were finally assembled that day by the Germans as ambulances with doctors sped to the scene. Para-medics administered first aid to the surviving American crew members as the ambulances headed to nearby hospitals in New Berlin. At the hospital, German specialists set limbs and carefully stitched wounds and made the Americans as comfortable as possible. Occasionally the Germans addressed the Americans in English, some quietly telling how they had taken their degrees at German and American institutions.
Crew members not severely injured were taken into the city. A sign on the outskirts said, "New Berlin". The "prisoners" were then given an escorted automobile tour of the emerging city which the Germans had secretly begun in early 1940. Examples of buildings designed by Albert Spear on the order of Adolf Hitler were shown to the visitors. Stunned by the cautious friendliness of the Germans, the Americans were given a meal and made comfortable in a hotel.
But not all the invading Americans were so fortunate. As Byrd's plane sped homeward to his carrier base, German morticians embalmed and dressed the young Americans killed in the New Berlin raid. Using I.D. cards, victims were identified, features restored when necessary and then redressed in their own flight suits. The remains were placed in sealed plastic coffins.
The German Commander came in and met some of the surviving American officers. Introducing himself, he called them "heroic fools." The next day was February 17, 1947. Open German army trucks had picked up the various bodies of the young Americans. The vehicles assembled and slowly the cortege bore the dead American airmen through the broad streets of the new city. At the convoy's head, a German military band played Mendelson's Funeral March. Behind the cortege German airmen themselves, in honor, marched in slow step. Escorted in cars, American survivors brought up the rear.
As the funeral procession moved toward the Air Field, cannons were fired in the air; and all German flags on Government buildings flew at half mast as the dead and living Americans were prepared for their trip home. For the Americans and the Germans it was the unofficial end of World War II combat.
At the New Berlin Airport five saucers sat waiting. The dead Americans in unbreakable plastic coffins were placed on board another craft. The 24 walking cases were taken on board two other German craft. Finally, Commander Kurt Von Ludwig and his crew boarded the lead ship.
A squadron of five German UFO’s rose silently and headed south to the hole at the end of the world to pay a regretful respect to 60 living and dead Americans. Emerging from the South Pole funnel, the saucers took a northerly course from the Antarctic continent towards Australia. Approximately 1,800 miles southwest of Sydney, Australia, a U.S. aircraft carrier hove to at the radio request of the German Commander. As fleet commander Rear Admiral Cruzen listened, flat top commander Ben Miller, now back in control of his own ship, was hooked into the radio of the German round wing plane. A friend of Commander Miller then spoke from the German craft.
The American survivor appealed to the commanding officer to allow the Germans to land on one end of the carrier flight deck to deliver American survivors. The German UFO's sat down as Commander Kurt Von Ludwig hovered above in an attitude of surveillance. Americans stood down. No guns were drawn. No orders were given. No battle positions were taken.
The walking Americans stepped out and then moved to the other German round wing planes to remove the wounded. These were placed or helped on deck.
American sailors began to stand at attention and many officers stood at silent salute. No American word had been spoken. No German voice had been heard. When the last stretcher was removed, the German UFO's silently lifted and joined their commander aloft, then suddenly they were gone.
Under sedation in the carrier's sick bay, Admiral Byrd had missed the last chapter of the tragic drama he had begun.
From below the carrier flight deck, an ambulance plane was hoisted. Within 20 minutes it too was airborne, headed for Honolulu, Hawaii, where Pearl Harbor was alerted to receive the injured. The same night, over 10,000 miles away from the carrier, five round wing planes appeared at 8:00 P.M. over Arlington, Virginia. They stopped in mid-air and hovered over the tomb of World War I's Unknown Soldier.
A German plane broke formation and landed in an open area near the tomb. The door of the craft opened and darkened forms brought out the bodies of the 30 American airmen who had perished two days before.
There is a spirit, believed to be that of the Unknown Soldier, which had appeared often in the past whenever a body lay in state under the Capitol Rotunda. It was seen by many at Kennedy's death; it 112 appeared when the body of President Eisenhower lay in state, and also appeared on the death of President Hoover, Johnson and other notable Americans. The night of February 12, as the Germans placed the bodies of the dead airmen before the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, completing their task, they stepped back and surveyed the darkened scene for a moment before entering their airships. As they watched, the apparition of the dead doughboy of the American Expeditionary Force in World War I was suddenly seen again. It gave a brisk salute and then vanished. The Germans themselves swear this appearance took place.
What arrangements were made with the next of kin is not known. Nevertheless, 30 men of all ranks were buried with full military honors at the cemetery. (Today in a nearby building a bronze plaque reposes, inscribed with the names of the young heroes – and how they died in the center of the Earth. The plaque will be erected in the year 2000 A.D.) [Bet it has not been done DC]
From Arlington Cemetery three of the German saucers stopped above the Capitol Building and two hovered over the White House where the Trumans lived. Simultaneously, all five shone powerful search lights on the buildings below. The Washington military was alerted. Then the German Commander spoke via the Air Force radio channel. He said: "This display of our strength is a warning. If we so wished we could destroy both your White House and Capitol with deadly rays and within five minutes both historic places would be only ashes. Send no more armed military expeditions below unless America wants full scale war," the German warned.
"If it is war you seek, then we shall fight you, but as for New Germany, we prefer peace and the friendship of America." The voice finished by saying "the real enemy of both our peoples is Russia." All night the German saucers hovered over Washington. Little did they suspect the U.S. chose not to show any of its military strength from the arsenal of over 500 laser equipped round wing planes hidden across the land. The German craft departed westward at 9:00 A.M. the next day in a burst of speed.
In 1948, acting independently of the Americans or other nations, the Russians, who had watched the 1947 Byrd foray in the Antarctic from an Antarctic base, sent a fully-armed wing of conventional combat aircraft to the earth's interior at the north. The Russians, told of the Americans' 1947 reception by the Germans at the South Pole, but uncertain of the outcome, elected to penetrate the North Pole entrance from their bases. The Russian planes were computer clocked by Americans passing Point Barrow, Alaska heading due east. Canadian bases on three northerly locations kept the Russian planes spotted. The American base reported 102 planes; the Canadian check points reported 97 planes.
The Russians' first aerial encounter was with the guardians of the North Pole entrance – descendants of the Vikings whom the Germans call the "old race." The Russian planes at first were challenged by the "old race" but were allowed to proceed when they claimed they were on a mission to New Germany in the southern hemisphere. The Russian wing, still intact, continued past the man-made orb of light at the equator of the earth's interior and sped toward the southern hemisphere where, in the Germans lion's den, seven UFO's were now waiting.
No Russian enemy plane escaped German wrath. One hundred planes and their crews perished. Those Russian bodies recovered were cremated. In 4-1/2 hours, German UFO's were over Moscow, brazenly scattering the ashes of the Russian dead over the capitol. As in the Washington incident, the Germans broke into the military air waves and taunted the Russians with the statement: "Here are the remains of your brave airmen you sent down to destroy us!"
Moscow's red alert sounded. And up into the skies to teach the invading Germans a lesson went Russian MIG fighters. One after another, the German machines easily disposed of all the Russian interceptors.
In defiance, the German Commander in his undamaged round wing plane hovered imperially above.
Then over the military frequencies that moments before cracked with Russian chatter of aerial combat, there came a final German voice: "Next time we will annihilate you."
The Germans flew off -- intact.
They would taunt the Russians over Moscow year after year after that memorial victory.
That day, when the squadron leader Von Ludwig landed in New Berlin, he patted his plane and commented: "I shall name her ‘Old Ironsides' in honor of today’s fight."
Chapter XII
USA Peacefully Invades Inner World
Deep down hundreds of feet below a Kensington, Maryland meadow are stored the logs of Admiral
Richard Byrds's tragic 1947 flight into the interior world. In another vault adjoining the Byrd records,
are some other historical American accomplishments of greater significance, contained in 14 classified
books listing the records of the U.S. round wing plane development and the accomplishments of their
inaugural flights from 1936 to 1960. These books tell of the men who blazed new trails into the atmosphere of the upper and inner world. Even today, the names of these humble, Lindberg-like aviators must be kept secret, because of the knowledge they possess if it were known to those who are political adversaries of America in 1980.
In 1978 the authors were given an opportunity to review the logs and papers and make some valid judgments about the history of U.S. aerial progress in the 1940's. To understand the continuous interplay between the German and American endeavours in the attempt to conquer space via dual versions of the round wing plane, it was necessary first to see the log of Byrd's last flight into the inner world and his unauthorized confrontation with a superior force of New Germans.
The Byrd episode after his 1947 flight into the inner world is continued. Upon his release from the carrier's sick bay where he had been confined while in a state of shock, he was flown to Washington and appeared immediately to explain why he had fired on the Germans and disobeyed orders. His last instructions had been to go armed but not to open fire in the inner world under any circumstances. Hence, on appearing before the Joint Chiefs of Staff after his return he was downgraded for disobeying a written order. But for purposes of avoiding publicity and breaking security, the committee voted not to court martial him, though a Court of Inquiry was later called to decide on disciplinary action. After all, they argued, Byrd had taken in a squadron of specially built planes, with competent crews, and by his willful ego had sacrificed the lives of over 30 young airmen. Had the Germans not honorably saved the surviving American injured and returned them quickly to the surface aircraft carrier (as recorded in the committee minutes), the mood of the committee most certainly would have been to sentence Byrd. But the national security lid was still on the Antarctic foray. There is also an indication in the minutes that the image of Byrd created by his former explorations might be considered more important to future historians than his fiasco in the inner earth. Nevertheless everyone connected with the expedition considered it a tragedy -- except Byrd. An exhibit placed before the Court of Inquiry in 1947 contained five typed pages written by Byrd, telling of the "successful exploit." It was read in frozen disbelief by the Court of Inquiry. The navigator's brief one page resume told the real truth, along with witnesses on the Commander's plane and the survivors returned by the Germans.
The findings of the Court of Inquiry which were forwarded to the Joint Chiefs of Staff labeled Byrd "mentally incompetent." Furthermore, they recommended that he be allowed no further participation in the program of inner earth penetration, without further review, because of his insistence in boasting publicly about the episodes.
According to the notes of Byrd's briefing for his 1947 flight, Air Force intelligence had advised the Navy not to take him into confidence on the round wing planes built in America because in so doing he might be forced to tell the Germans of them if shot down.
The Byrd chapter on the Antarctic was tragically closed. In the next U.S. Air Force book opened deep underground in the Tombs were laid out the original records of the U.S. attempt to correct the Byrd fiasco.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff elected to drop what had amounted to a devious approach to the new German menace located inside the earth. The next penetration of the inner earth would be with round wing planes carrying competent commanders and trained crews. The new ships would be the sleek, 60 foot craft that had been redesigned in the last year of the war. Top speed of these latest models was over 7,000 miles per hour and they were filled with sophisticated electronic gear for control and navigation. Also built into the craft were long range precise, photographic cameras.
That first ship, Air Force reference number 16, left in April. The ship chosen for that trip could race the sun, beat the wind and chase the stars. One of the 12 men crew referred to her as the sweetheart of time and space. She was so fitted that cameras would photograph a 360 degree arc surrounding her flight pattern as she moved through the inner world. Her point of departure was Los Alamos, New Mexico, and briefing was at three a.m. If all went according to flight plan, at six a.m. she would enter the inner world at the 125 mile wide, South Pole opening.
The purpose of the flight was purely high level, photographic reconnaissance. The ship carried absolutely no armament. At the briefing, instructions were to fly through the South Pole opening's rock funnel at 5,000 miles per hour, proceeding on a course northward and emerging into the upper world again through the North Pole neck of the Arctic Ocean. As the American craft flew through the inner world, three small 16 foot photographic scout planes would leave her hold and do reconnaissance of specific urban and military sites. These small scouts, nicknamed fleas, flew at speeds in excess of 7,000 miles per hour, and returned safely to the 60 foot mother ship before leaving inner earth's air space. Once out of the inner earth the American ship was to land in British Columbia, where debriefing would take place.
The aerial trip was unbelievably successful, and so fast and uncomplicated to the crew that it was described by them as almost uneventful. But the expedition was less so to America's military strategists when they examined the photos. For beyond doubt the pictures accurately gave the U.S. its first authentic aerial panorama of the entire interior world. When the photos were evaluated it was decided to send a second flight as soon as maps could be completed and flight plans made ready.
In early June the second round wing plane (Air Force reference number 18) took off from British Columbia for the North Pole entrance. The plane commander was Major R. Davies. He had been told to proceed along the established aerial routing over the Beaufort Sea to a fix above the Canadian Queen Elizabeth Islands. At that coordinate he was to fly on his own reckoning at an elevation of only 3,000 feet. Flight instructions were simple up to the 85th parallel. At that map reference the navigator was cautioned to keep the surface waters in sight at all times and establish constant elevation readings by radar. It was already known to the Air Forces of Canada and the United States that a real danger existed of literally flying off the horizon in that concave area of the Arctic Ocean where the waters flowed deceptively into the throat of the planet. Ground elevation was also important in that area where compasses and instruments became erratic. Jonathon Caldwell, on an earlier training flight in 1943, had stumbled into that northern void while searching for a route to Europe across the top of the world. The Caldwell log and subsequent interview with Caldwell by Davies had prepared the crew for any disorientation, panic or confusion which might occur to the uninitiated venturing into the Earth from the top of the world. The journey into the interior of the Earth was of course made long before the age of satellites. But today NASA labels the geographic North Pole as imaginary -- the neutral zone or dead center of the Earth. In this center point of the 1,400 mile wide opening is the location of the imaginary North Pole or the end point of the northern latitudes. No sea or land area exists between the 90th and 85th degree latitudes; it is a gaping hole. Eighty five degree latitude is located approximately on the edge of the opening to the hollow interior of the Earth. (The true magnetic North Pole starts at 86/ East Longitude over the TAYMYR peninsula of Siberia.)
But in 1947 there was no navigational chart on how to reach the top of the world at the edge of the gaping hole that led to the interior. With all his sophisticated gear, an airman flying the throat of the ocean had to do so in airman's parlance "by the seat of his pants."
At 6 A.M. U.S. Air Force round wing plane number 16 struck the throat of the ocean at 500 miles per hour. Speed was corrected to 750 miles per hour as advised at the early morning briefing. As the plane descended into the ocean's abyss, she accelerated to the unbelievable speed of 5,000 miles per hour. All cameras were turned on as the craft began the 1,200 mile long and deep descent that would bring her out at the other end into another world. Still travelling at 3,000 feet elevation, the plane from the upper surface of the planet came into the interior over sparse settlements of Eskimos, much more advanced than their upper earth relatives. The American crew had already observed and photographed to their astonishment islands within the ocean's steamy throat that seemed to support animal life -- namely dinosaurs, extinct on the surface for an estimated million years. Now, in the Eskimo lands, they noted herds of seals off rocky outposts.
Following a southeasterly course they soon encountered another land mass and different civilization. Shortly thereafter they knew for an historical certainty the territory over which they were flying.
The ship's radar picked up the bogeys. Then visual sightings confirmed the presence of strangers coming up to meet them. This would be Major Davies' first test of will and diplomacy. The Major knew the object of the expedition was primarily exploratory, to obtain as much low level, photographic evidence as possible, and that the second reason for the journey into the earth's interior was to determine if any people encountered were warlike. Another primary objective was to obtain all the information possible about the establishments of the New Germans.
The investigating ships were round wing planes similar but smaller than the United States machine. Suddenly these eight to ten unidentified bogeys were upon the intruding ship from the upper world. Major Davies pressed a button. Across the bottom of the U.S. Air Force plane large green letters spelled out one word: PEACE. The word flashed on and off as an attention getter to the rising planes below. The attacking planes came on. Then a voice in excellent English broke over the American intercom. “Identify and establish purpose of air intrusion over Vikingland!"
Major Davies replied: "Our intrusion of your territory is not deliberate, or war-like. We are unarmed. Our intentions are peaceful. This is an American craft and we have come into this land solely to observe what the New Germans are doing and if they are warlike." The reply apparently satisfied the Viking Commander. He replied: “You say you come in peace. Go in peace. But leave our air space at once! Should you wish to visit us again officially, contact our surface intermediary, the Icelandic Government, and the request will be referred to proper authorities! Major Davies flew away and took his next random bearing on an observed orb of light suspended in the center of the interior. As they sped south, the cameras picked up cities and towns which were not dissimilar to those on the surface. They also saw cattle and horses and flocks of sheep tended by shepherds. They beheld it all, the urban and the rural. On high seas they even observed sailing ship's and noted the steady north to south trade winds.
The craft still had 2,000 miles of reserve power which he had not used. Unarmed as they were, if attacked they would rely on this reserve speed to develop evasive tactics or leave the scene of confrontation. The crew hoped if they came upon a hostile ship that it would not fire first and ask questions later -- too much later.
Within two hours over a zigzag course the ship came upon a new arid land. They had been told when they reached such an area to expect to meet New German round wing planes. The pre-flight briefing proved to be correct. Looking down they saw soldiers drilling on the ground in an unmistakable goose step fashion. Many barracks and construction camps were nearby as well as visual evidence of a new railroad line being laid.
The picture was almost serene, when from below anti-aircraft shells began bursting. The pilot shot up to 60,000 feet and remarked "I'll bet those shells have 'made in Germany' stamped on them." But the shelling was not maintained for long. On the bottom of the American ship the large green letters PEACE again flashed on and off. The anti-aircraft flak stopped. Helmeted German soldiers stared upwards at the ship which spoke in a language they understood. Continuing its random search, the American ship then flew over a large settlement with an established airport. Breaking into the American wave length a voice in German asked for identification and flight plan. Major Davies knew a second critical point had been reached in his reconnaissance of the inner world. The flight officer handed the mike to a lieutenant who spoke German, replying to the tower as follows: "We are a lost surface craft origin USA. We can't explain how we arrived here after our compasses went crazy. Instruments now working O.K., but navigator cannot identify landmarks. Can you give directions?" No German round wing plane took to the air. The cameras on the American craft continued to whir away at the city and its environs below. (Later study showed the city to be New Berlin.)
The German tower operator paused, as if in consultation. Then he replied, giving an explicit bearing on how to depart to the surface. The American craft, still speaking in German, thanked the tower and left the scene on a northerly compass bearing as directed. After flying over the city at 3,000 feet, the American craft began its northerly track and later turned back toward the equator of the interior where a diminutive ball of light acted as a marker.
An hour later speed was reduced as they came up to the interior sun. The light was not intense nor did it hurt the naked eyes. As they approached the huge 600 mile diameter orb, they noticed it resembled a gigantic China lantern, around the circumference of which there went a railed cat-walk. Plainly visible were huge doors leading to the interior where it was apparent the source of the diffused light was located. Closer aerial inspection did not reveal how the man-made orb was suspended in mid air. The crew noted that one side of the man-made sun was covered by a shield which, in slowly turning, provided daylight and darkness to the inner world -- as did the sun above.
While the American craft studied and photographed the scientific marvel, a third confrontation was occuring. From high above another squadron of unidentified Atturrean round wing planes descended on the lone American ship, which was strictly out of bounds in the inner sun area. The PEACE sign in green was again flashed on and the ship turned for the newcomers to see the sign. The challenge came abruptly. "Identify presence near sun and explain." The American commander quickly responded. The commander of the Atturrean ship then asked the surface craft to leave and his police squadron escorted the intruding ship back in a northerly direction towards the entrance at the top of the world.
In their flight of fantasy through the inner world the ship cameras also photographed a waterfall which dwarfed Niagara Falls. Nearby was a hydro-electric station. At another location in the continent where the Atturreans dwelt was seen an immense geyser of water throwing millions of gallons of steam and hot water into the air and forming a giant lake. From the reservoir a network of pipes was seen leading to cities many miles distant. The crew were now accustomed to various and changing environments. They came to the conclusion the inner world was not as densely populated as the upper world, but the next primitive tableau was unexpected. For in an unoccupied land in which there were no signs of civilization, the cameras came upon a time frame that went back into ancient history. In this area they actually saw a primitive tribe fighting an enemy with spears, bows and arrows. There is nothing new under the sun, even a man-made sun.
Unhindered and undamaged, the American round wing plane and her crew of six finally re-entered the air space of the Arctic Ocean. At the top of the throat to the outer world they took a bearing when compasses were stabilized, and the round wing plane headed for the secret air station in British Columbia. Eager officials would be waiting to hear whether the crew of the peace mission had succeeded in displaying the nation's strength with honor. If they had done so, the shame of the year before would have been nullified.
A new universal word PEACE had been flashed to all nations in the interior, whether the inhabitants spoke German or Scandinavian or the old language of the world. But even then, on reassessing the outcome of the journey to the interior, American leaders knew there were nations on the surface who would have come up to fight had their territory been violated even unintentionally.
On landing, the flight crew noted they had been nearly 24 hours on the mission. They were quietly welcomed home. The Commander explained briefly that the mission had been successful. The crew devoured breakfast and fell into their beds.
The exposed film was removed from the ship and taken to the processing lab. Twenty hours of photographs would be the visual result of the cameramen's skill. Later when the film was edited, the meteorological data studied, along with the record on the navigator's tape track, and radio confrontation dialogue, the U.S. would be provided with its first graphic understanding of the world within our world that had been kept hidden for millennium's.
After the films were developed, the pictures would show the inner atmosphere of clouds and rain and even a massive thunderstorm where bolts of lightning flashed in the same frightening way as they would have done on the surface. The debriefing took several days and experts from across the United States and Canada were called in for discussion.
In summing up the success of the flight to the hollow earth, the consensus of opinion was that (1) the races located in the interior of the earth were not hostile or warlike, and (2) the New Germans were now aware of America's round wing capabilities and probably had "not rebuilt their air force significantly enough for any renewed aggression against their old enemy. Perhaps more important, it was noted that the New Germans who were really the upper world Germans in a new setting, had not exhibited any hostility to the unarmed American visitor which they had surely recognized. Perhaps a new day was dawning.
The next question to which the U.S. would have to address itself would be not military but political.When and how would it be most feasible to open up a bilateral relationship with any or all of the nations in the inner world?
Thirty years would pass before that problem would be worked out.
Chapter XIII
Byrd's Aerial Disaster in Hollow Earth Establishes Post-war Posture
of
World War II Nations
A renewed military vigilance of the World War II allies developed from Byrd's 1947 escape from New
Germany, and his subsequent landing on the American aircraft carrier south of Australia. On board were American military brass of all services plus the British, Canadian and Australian, as well as members of the other armed services. Following the briefing by his military advisors, President Truman was sufficiently alarmed to persuade the principal allies of the World War II into making a decisive commitment toward the future outcome of Planet Earth.
Twenty three days after Byrd's debriefing, the President's yacht was at anchor in Biscayne Bay, Florida. Here, in utmost secrecy, the world's leading nations and their chiefs-of-staff met to map strategy on how to react to an enemy that had not been defeated after all, and who might be renewing his air force in order to gain a tactical advantage over all the world in aircraft superiority and weaponry. All present believed that German military ambitions were continuing, and the British, French; and Americans openly surmised that a crisis existed in which democracy might have to fight another battle with Hitler's dictatorship.
The Byrd presentation of the New German fortress being built inside the earth was made to startled military guests. There followed proposals and counter proposals by which it was agreed that preparations for defense of the outer world should begin in the continent of Antarctica, both on and off shore, and that Alaska and Northern Canada, continuing in a line across Greenland to Russia also should be defended forthwith. Therefore, the defense postures formed during that period were related primarily to the polar regions.
In line with these various national outlooks, it was decided that the Antarctic discoveries of an opening to the interior of the earth and the German presence within the earth should be kept secret. The friendly outer terrestrials riding the skies would never permit confrontation against New Germany using the newly developed round wing planes and their weaponry. There was also the question of what the outer terrestrials' response would be if the upper earth nations took war into the hollow earth or vice versa. Thus, upper earth response at the Polar regions became conventional and it was decided that the round wing planes would be deployed secretly for surveillance only.
Henceforth, all nations agreed, the new allied military presence in the polar regions should increase and would be disguised under various names. There was Canadian Operation Pine Tree, and Dew Line in the northern hemisphere. High Jump and the Geophysical Year, with their variety of logistics and tactical exercises were held in the southern hemisphere. America's Greenland base at Thule would be a scientific ice station, and Canada's Baffin Island Station also would mock the truth. No mention would be made that the ear1y warning stations were located within short flight minutes of the Northern Polar entrance to the interior. No one would admit that McMurdo Bay in the Antarctic was the headquarters for any projected entrenchment.
As a result of these post war decisions, there extends across North America today a line of Arctic defenses from the Bering Strait to Greenland. Russia had its own early warning system above its 70th parallel. The world's defenses begun in the late 1940's have continued to be improved and serviced since that time.
In the Southern Hemisphere manned stations have been in existence since 1959, occupied by those signatory countries which, by treaty, police the sub-continent. West Germany is not party to the northern defense system nor do they contribute men, materials or money. Nor are the New Germans one of the Antarctic guardian nations, notwithstanding the fact that the Germans in the late 30's and early 40's probably explored and mapped the Antarctic more extensively than any other nation.
Many nations committed themselves to keep the true nature of their polar activities locked up. But what was easy to hide from the public in 1936 was not so in 1946 when batteries of press corps and advisors were required by Canada, America and foreign governments to suppress the truth that a new aerial age existed, even those newspapermen who managed to wrangle junkets to Polar stations. As suppression continued, certain military government public relations agencies used the written tactics of fabrication and deceit to hide the secret of the ages.
In 1947 the government was inclined to believe that the American people would have demanded immediate war with the Germans, and the government wanted to avoid that. But in hindsight we now know that both the Germans and allies were tired of all-out war. As for the so-called flying saucers, most governments continue to believe that withholding the truth on so called flying saucers would prevent mass hysteria. They pay science spokesmen to ridicule the existence of the round wing plane. But there are nonetheless some in authority, particularly in the U.S. who believe that a gradual release of the facts would be propitious.
About the time Byrd himself was being officially gagged, it was realized by the World War II allies that the entire geographical discovery of an entrance to an inner world at the poles had been made more complex by German existence in that new land. For if the existence of the inner world was publicly revealed, the military complications of the German presence would, of necessity, be revealed and vice versa. No one in authority in the United States, Britain, France, or Russia for that matter, cared to think of the New German war machine rebuilding a "Fourth Reich" which its founder had promised would last 1,000 years.
Whatever force it was that kept the polar antagonists checkmated, earth skies and particularly the Poles, were filled for years with alien ships probing the frigid skies at each end of the planet.
The aftermath of Operation High Jump and Byrd's expedition into the interior was tragic for Byrd and his family. He had already been shut off the air in Valparaiso, Chile, while making emotional remarks about momentous discoveries stemming from his polar exploration. A similar embarrassment later occurred over NBC radio in New York. Government sponsored denials of an Interior world were then put forth, and Admiral Byrd was told by President Truman that henceforth anything he said to the media would be censored. However, Byrd would not be silenced. He told authorities that he planned to write a book on his experiences at the Poles regardless of the government's gag order.
One day in October, 1954, Admiral Byrd went into seclusion. He spent the next three years in a private sanitorium near Tarrytown, New York, from which he did not communicate with those outside with the exception of certain relatives.
Numbed by the secrecy order for silence, the aerial adventurer, upon leaving the sanatorium, signed an agreement that he would never again mention his experiences in the hollow earth. This American explorer, first to spend a winter alone in the Antarctic, first to cross the South Pole by air, first to fly into the earth's hollow interior from the North Pole, kept silent until he died in 1957 at the age of 56.
As an adventurer, he had the daring and brashness that made him the equivalent of Sir Walter Raleigh or Francis Drake. But that same opportunism that led him on to new frontiers, along with his insatiable public ego, were the very characteristics that finally branded him unacceptable to his government when collective secrecy was demanded.
It is easy for an author to fix blame or formulate conclusions. However, there are still too many unknown contributing circumstances to totally comprehend the events of 1946 and 1947 and the attempts to keep suppressed the revelations of the inner world. As for Admiral Richard E. Byrd, his outstanding human weakness might have been that frustration caused him to die from a broken heart because he or no one else was allowed to evaluate his contribution to his country and to mankind in general.[Well if the author thought it was hard in 1980 to address the suppression and silence,here in 2019 it becomes easier because of the continuing cover up of events.I will note, that the PTB,typically decided to line the pockets of defense contractors with war implements,just as they do to this day DC]
Post War Positions of Major Nations
But although Byrd’s 1947 Inner World encounter with the Germans immediately hardened the polar defense posture of World War II Allies, the political events of 1945 and 46 also tempered attitudes and dismembered the wartime alliance even before the guns were silenced.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt remained more intransient and antagonistic towards the Germans than Churchill or De Gaulle whose countries had suffered severe agonies of war. Roosevelt’s German animosity was exceeded only by that of Stalin. In 1945 Roosevelt had called for maximum obliteration of major German cities by British and American bombers during the final weeks of the war. But Churchill who was to concur, had deliberately put off sanctioning the scheme because he could not forget the needless deaths of over 36,000 Londoners during the blitz of the German V Bombs, as well as the destruction of historical English landmarks of monumental significance. The early Roosevelt/Churchill camaraderies had not fully blossomed into an abiding friendship as Churchill noted an increasing ecomania and unnecessary military truculence on the part of the American president.[FDR was a piece of s*%t war criminal who was not only responsible for the destruction and death of civilians across Germany and it's cities AFTER the war had been decided,he is responsible for the present day policy of shock and awe that has left nations like Iraq, Libya,and others in shambles from bombing. If Americans had been held accountable after WW 2, for their war crimes along with the Russians,things would be different today,but no deterrent means no change. DC]
As World War II drew to a close, the most pressing need was to decide the fate of a defeated Germany. Hence the peace talks at Casablanca, Tehran, Caira, Yalta, Potsdam and Dunbarton Oaks during the last years of the war.
Of particular significance to the story of the round wing plane development, as well as the future of Europe and the world nations, was the Yalta conference which began in February 1945. That conference revealed frightening events that almost resulted in the western Allies being the post-war losers of World War II and the Soviet empire becoming the undisputed champion of the world.[Been telling people were years that the despicable FDR was a straight out communist DC]
Architects of the disaster formula were Joseph Stalin, the crafty evil premier of the USSR, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt of the USA, whom Churchill accused of having gone mad while at Yalta, as corroborated later by testimony of three American physicians before a congressional committee hearing. Therefore, the Yalta episode is briefly sketched herein to show how Roosevelt’s tryst with Stalin at that conference not only influenced the defense posture of the English speaking allies and etched the boundaries of occupied Europe after 1946, but also hid the fact of the round wing plane development under stricter cover up.
Roosevelt’s departure for Yalta was arranged with paranoiac secrecy far beyond precautions necessary for his safety. Under the code name Argonaut, not even Vice President Truman was told the presidential destination. And the special train carrying the VIPs and over 300 staff advisors was broken up at its destination of Newport News, Virginia, when after detraining, the Presidential train was camouflaged and its locomotive tenders even switched to prevent identity. In addition, the train was repainted and the serial numbers changed before the cars were rerouted to different destinations. For years, writers alluded to it as the mystery train that vanished into thin air and even associated its disappearance with the Bermuda Triangle.
From the mystery train, the Yalta party under Roosevelt boarded the cruiser Quincy under command of Capt. Elliott M. Senn, and one of the largest escorts in naval history left port with overhead planes, sub chasers and surface ships. From Malta, the American party, bound 1,250 miles distant for Russia, left in an aerial armada of over 200 American planes including sixteen Swift P38 Lightnings which would fly guard over the President’s plane, flown by col. Ray W. Ireland. In adjoining planes under the fighter umbrella would be dignitaries such as Secretary of State Stettinius, First Assistant Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Admiral King and Admiral Leahey and Chief of Staff George C. Marshall, special advisors to the President Mr. Harry Hopkins, Justice Jimmy Byrnes, Mr. A. V. Harriman and Mr. Alger Hiss. President Roosevelt’s daughter Anna, the wife of Lt. Col. Boettiger was also present as well as Press Secretary Steve Early who was required to leave his three pool reporters at Casablanca.
Except for press coverage, (no releases till Roosevelt arrived home in Portsmouth after the conference) Yalta was the most carefully staged conference of the several held in the final days of World War II. As hosts, Russian intelligence rendered to Roosevelt all the hero worship of the occasion almost ignoring the Britisher Churchill. Vice Premier Molotov welcomed the US Present as he landed on russian soil at 12:10 on February 3, 1945 where an honor guard was lined up in the 40 minus degree cold. The Russians had converted a jeep for the few minutes occasion in order that President Roosevelt could inspect the troops to the tune of a brass band playing the Stars and Stripes. Later, in an American Packard, the Russian guest drove 80 miles to Yalta where honor guards lining the route saluted the American President every 50 feet. The dignitaries were housed at the grandest residence in the area, the 50 room Livadia Palace, built in 1911 by the last Russian Czar.
When the conference opened, Stalin continued his contrived flattery by demanding as host that the ailing Roosevelt be made Chairman. The two were soon calling each other Joe and Franklin. The British delegation, especially Churchill and Anthony Eden were appalled at the uninhibited familiarity between the American and Russian leaders. Top Americans also began to wince, but unknown to practically all open delegates, Stalin and Roosevelt were most communicative to each other while talking over the phones in their private suites.
Initially, the Russians under Stalin openly asked that they be given control of most of Europe including France, northern Italy, the Balkans, Greece, Crete, Syria, Palestine, 2/3 of Finland, the Baltic countries, Iceland, part of Greenland and even a return of Alaska. The Russians then planned to take Spain by force. In the far east, Stalin asked for Port Arthur, all of Manchuria, Outer Mongolia. He also proposed invasion of China by Russia to remove Mao Te Sung, who was so independent that he preferred his own brand of Communism rather than become a puppet of the Soviets.
The British team, long wary of Soviet aims and their brazen disregard for the Western Allies, pressed for the division of Europe much as it is today. (Following Yalta, British armies under Montgomery threatened to team up with the Germans and drive on to Moscow if the Russians took one foot of territory west of the Elbe.) Eisenhower and other American leaders including Patton were in accord, but Roosevelt vetoed the plan. During the Yalta conference, Churchill consistently made his point that Poland should remain free of occupied Russian troops and that Germany should not be dismembered, else it would rise again. But he remained adamant that France though defeated and not a victor in the war, should be left intact and unoccupied.
During the conference, the Roosevelt/Stalin attachment blossomed daily and the American president bathed in the ego build-up which Stalin and his aides showered on him. The Russian intelligence had long guessed what Roosevelt wanted most. It was not mainly concern over division of European lands, but instead his declared nomination for President of the newly evolving United Nations, the founding of which the winners of World War II had been drafting during the war years. Stalin was also aware that to head the New World Order was Roosevelt’s greatest dream, occupying his every moment of free thought. Therefore, Stalin recognized that Roosevelt would allow nothing to stand in his way to his becoming head of the new planetary body. As Stalin daily observed the frail and failing Roosevelt, he must have known that Roosevelt had thrown all his old caution to the winds in order to get support for presidency of the coming body of nations – and he also must have shrewdly surmised there was nothing to lose by nominating Roosevelt whose life tenure appeared to be short. The crippling polio that Roosevelt had fought all his packed-full political life, had left him a weakened man. So with time on the side of Stalin, he could not lose by nominating Roosevelt to be head of the United Nations in exchange for most of Europe plus other concessions.
The Yalta conference lasted five weeks and by the third week, the British suspecting an ominous purpose beneath Stalin’s pretext to befriend Roosevelt, tapped the telephone line going into Roosevelt’s private suite in the Livadia Palace. Immediately Churchill was amazed to discover that Stalin and Roosevelt had made their own secret agreement for division of Europe regardless of the open negotiating sessions and also how the two conspirators regarded the new world of nations as they envisioned a revised constitution. As the conference continued, reverberations of the secret intrigue which Stalin was surreptitiously conducting with Roosevelt, reached the ears of the Acting President of the U.S.A., Harry S. Truman, in Washington, U.S.A.
A bewildered Vice President Truman had purposely been alerted by two leading congressmen and another then unknown source that President Roosevelt was undermining the Allied cause at Yalta and that something had to be done – quickly. It was at that point that William Donovan, President Roosevelt’s choice to head the O.S.S. (Forerunner of the CIA) was called by Acting President Truman. Truman’s message to Donovan was crisp. “Meet me in Arlington Cemetery today at one P.M.!”
At the rendezvous, Truman confided his concern to the Intelligence Chief, and asked to be brought up to date on the Yalta happenings. Donovan, first of all, told the Acting Chief that on Roosevelt’s orders, his intelligence team had not been taken to the conference, but nevertheless, an O.S.S. man was there in the disguise of a naval chaplain. Donovan said the code name of the agent was Father John, a bonafide Catholic priest. Then Donovan told Truman it was Father John whose reports had alerted him and other friends in Washington.
Donovan and Truman at that meeting agreed to add to Father John’s reports and discover first hand what really was happening at Yalta. The acting president then asked General Donovan what was needed to get the counter espionage started on the Roosevelt/Stalin dealings and Donovan replied, five thousand dollars in my hands today and a fast plane to London. Truman went to his own personal account and drew the necessary $5,000 which Donovan would need for funding the trip to Yalta without government vouchers, and at Andrews Air Force Base, one of the five new American made jets was standing waiting for the OSS head. In London, the head of Donovan European operations was asked to stand by. He went under the code name of Major General Charles Lawson, a graduate of Princeton.
Forty-eight hours later, secret O.S.S. agent General Lawson had flown over the “hump” to Moscow via Leningrad. There at the American Embassy, a known O.S.S. agent confirmed that something wrong was taking place at Yalta between Roosevelt and Stalin. Getting a lift to Yalta in a Russian dispatch plane, the Russians though he was being called by Roosevelt. To hide identity from Americans who might recognize him, General Lawson was billeted with a Britisher. Three hours after arrival at Yalta headquarters, the American OSS agent had tapped Roosevelt’s telephone going into Livadia Palace. What he first heard confirmed the rumours: Stalin, Molotov and Roosevelt were carrying on a conversation in English with Molotov interpreting difficult passages for Stalin. The Russians talked hopefully of a New World with Roosevelt the global leader of the projected body of United Nations scheduled for its inaugural meeting in San Francisco sometime in 1947. Roosevelt showed his elation by the honor even over the phone. There was however, one small catch – something the Russians wanted in return. Roosevelt knew all about returning favors, but even General Lawson was stunned to hear Molotov tell Roosevelt to lock all his doors from the inside that night and send out all personnel, particularly security people. At 12 midnight, Stalin and Molotov would visit Roosevelt and his daughter Sis alone in the apartment to discuss a contractual agreement. They said they would come through a secret passageway that ended at the wall of the guest apartment occupied by the American president and his daughter.
That evening bugs were planted in Roosevelt’s apartment. General Lawson waited expectantly as 12 midnight approached. Precisely on the hour Stalin and Molotov were heard to arrive. The President’s daughter Sis listened to the knock on the hidden panel and apparently looking at the wall, the agent heard her say: “Do come in, Gentlemen, the President is expecting you!”
Some small talk ensued as heard on the tape and then Stalin thrilled Roosevelt by extolling how he so expertly chaired the Yalta meetings and that he was Earth’s best choice to head the forthcoming United Nations assembly. Stalin asked only one favor in return and he spoke bluntly in English:
“In return for our assured support of your desire to head the world body of nations in the post war years, we want the plans for your round wing plane.”
The Russians had made their bid. What the Germans had paid a million dollars for in 1936 when they bought the crude Caldwell plans, Stalin now wanted not only half the World but also the plans of the round wing plane.
There was a silence as Roosevelt paused, still reflecting the earlier Russian flattery to propel him into stardom as head of the world. Finally, the sick U.S. President spoke. “I see no reason why Russia should not share the secret of the round wing plane. As Russia is to be our ally in a New World of one nation under the United Nations body which I would head, everyone should share the benefits of the great round wing plane and its motor.” [Fu&#ing Commie DC]
Stalin then withdrew from his pocket an agreement in English, which in return for the round wing secret (which first was to be delivered by Roosevelt), they would use Russian influence to make him head of the New United World Order of Nations. Vice President of the new body would be Joseph Stalin and Secretary General would be A.V. Molotov. All three parties signed and Sis witnessed the signature of her father, the head of state of the United States of America.
The next day a smiling Roosevelt met Churchill and said in parting: “I think it’s time to consider giving the Russians the plans for the American round wing plane.” Churchill glared at his former friend and replied. “Believe me! I well know you’ve been tricked by the flattery of that Brigand Stalin.” And looking squarely at Roosevelt, Churchill ended the conversation by adding, “And you, Sir, have gone mad!”
Within four days, General Charles Lawson would be back before Truman, where he and key members of the Senate-Congress would hear the taped story of how Roosevelt agreed to give Russia without congressional approval or advice of the U.S. military, whatever part of Europe the Russians desired, as well as the secret of the ages, the round wing plane.
Little did the members know that Estes Plateau, the visitor from another planet (Venus) who called on Roosevelt in 1943, had reminded him that his personal ambitions might some day place him the same category as Hitler and Stalin.
Yalta ended. The Americans came home. And President Roosevelt proceeded to keep his part of the terrible Russian bargain. Plans of the latest round wing plane were delivered to the Oval Office and placed in his desk.
One morning of late March 1945, Soviet Ambassador Andre Gromyko arrived at the White House for an audience with President Roosevelt. When the Russian left he carried an unmarked package that inside held the plans to the round wing plane on which Johnathon E. Caldwell and thousands of others from America, Canada and Britain had spent their careers perfecting.
Less than ten days later Gromyko asked for a second audience with the U.S. President. The Russian upon returning the plans of the round wing plane to Roosevelt told him that Russian engineers had unmistakenly proved the blue prints were fakes and bore no relationship to the true design and motivational power of an operational plane.
The Russian diplomat was correct. On the night in which the plans lay locked in Roosevelt’s desk, an unknown O.S.S. man entered with the help of Secret Service personnel and exchanged the authentic blueprints with fake ones.
The same day on which Gromyko brought back the doctored plans, Roosevelt called in Vice President Truman and explained that “plans of the round wing plane he had requested had been substituted.” Without explaining his own duplicity, the President asked Truman to get the proper plans as soon as possible and find who had substituted them or drawn false ones.
Vice President Truman agreed to the order, but as part of the task he urged that President Roosevelt first take a quiet vacational rest in his favorite spa, Warm Springs, Georgia. Truman promised that upon return the plans would be ready, and for the time being he believed that Roosevelt’s absence would solve the immediate problem of preventing the round wing secret from falling into enemy hands. Roosevelt thought Truman’s suggestion a perfect way to recuperate Yalta and he made ready to leave immediately.
On April 5, Roosevelt died in Warm Springs and among the first to hear of his death and breathe a sigh of relief was Winston Churchill of England. Top U.S. air Force officers were also pleased as were untold others aware of Roosevelt’s perfidy. President Truman immediately sealed the Yalta papers of his deceased predecessor among which included the round wing gift to Russia.
As the body of the late President lay in the closed casket guarded by four Secret Service men, Eleanor Roosevelt asked that it be opened so she could view her husband for the last time. The lid was lifted and for a few minutes she looked at the man whose vision had made the building of the round wing plane on a friendly international basis possible, and who took America into World War II, but whose ambition in the final days of his illness lead him to try and give away the greatest invention on the planet, the round wing plane. Had he not been stopped by the O.S.S. whose job it was to guard the nation’s secrets, the military and science programs that the Anglo/Canadian/American team had developed, would have been purloined by the Soviets, whose real goal was domination of the World.
Harry Truman who learned to read the foibles of human character during his days with the Kansas City Pendergast political machine, looked contemptuously at the stocky Russian in knee high boots, baggy knee pants and khaki shirt: “I’ll call you Marshall Stalin and you address me as Mr. President!”
Because of the new American hard line under Truman, the Americans and British kept most of Europe free from occupied Soviet control.
As a result of the military fear which the Stalin/Roosevelt agreement engendered, a tight cover-up prevailed over the round wing apparatus in the U.S.A., Canada and Britain. Even elected congressmen in the U.S.A. and members of parliament in Canada and Britain, or those appointed to the U.S. Senate or the Canadian and British upper houses, were kept from the deepening secrets of the round wing plane, whether of a military, science or technological nature. As the security ranks closed, it became an indictable offense in Canada and Britain to publicly discuss or write about the phenomena, while in the U.S.A. other punitive and secret measures of censorship were employed.
Thus the round wing apparatus, which originally lodged itself in the security of the military and science worlds as a hidden technological process, gradually became a fortified position of mind power. The round wing security division often degraded those who inquired about the phenomena, and those human beings who ventured to expose the truth became enemies within the state to be destroyed if necessary. In short, by its covert composition, the guardians of the round wing plane complex had to circumvent the laws of the state to survive and continue, the Freedom of Information Act eventually helped to right the wrongs of the cover-up by the round wing plane establishment.
(For preparation of this chapter, 78 year old CIA General Charles Lawson (not his right name) came out of retirement to aid the researcher and complete the book. When the OSS intelligence records were read at the National Archives (including the Stalin/Roosevelt agreement on the round wing plane), it was evident why the anglo American security ranks were closed more tightly after 1945. General Lawson is considered by President Reagan and present and past CIA directors as the greatest living legendary figure of World War II.)
