Although the following consists of a series of letters between Richard Ogden, a FLYING SAUCERS reader who took it upon himself to query Mr. Giannini, author of the mysterious book *‘World’s Beyond The Poles”, and Mr. Giannini, we present it as an article, in which the editor intersperses his own com- ments. Undoubtedly this will lead to still further action on the part of Mr. Giannini, whose place in this weird question of the mystery surrounding both Poles must most certainly be- settled in public in the pages of this magazine. Thus, we in- vite Mr. Giannini to use all the space he needs in our pages to present his case—which as we see it is to produce the proof with which he backed up his book and the information con- cerning Byrd that he has presented. The question being placed before the readers of FLYING SAUCERS at the present moment is not whether or not the Earth is hollow and that openings exist at both poles, or whether it is otherwise shaped and extends into space at both poles (Giannini’s theory), but whether or not. Admiral Byrd actually flew over the North Pole in February, 1947, and whether or not he “penetrated 1700 miles beyond it” into an unknown land area which does not exist on present-day maps. Therefore, we present the following letters as evidence, and we will let both of them stand on their own merits. Mr. Ogden’s letter is actually a composite of two letters, which we have re-arranged as one letter, omitting extraneous comment. If Mr. Ogden feels we have distorted his meaning, he is welcome to cor- rect us. Mr. Giannini’s letter is pre- sented verbatim. 1233 Ninth Avenue West Seattle 99, Washington August 2, 1960 Mr. Ray Palmer FLYING SAUCERS Route 2, Box 36 Amherst, Wisconsin Dear Ray: On July 23rd I wrote another letter to Mr. Giannini asking him to give an ac- count of himself about Admiral Byrd and what THE NEW YORK TIMES reports. 1 asked him your question about why he tried to destroy his theory by including a fictional flight by Byrd to the North Pole in 1947. I told him: “I am out to do just one thing: GET THE FAC?YS. | will play no favorites. If this thing is a hoax, I will expose it. If there is some truth behind it, I will bring that out too.” Well, it seems Mr. Giannini doesn’t give up; and I rather suspect you will be printing an apology to Mr. Giannini for ealling him a liar about Byrd’s flight to the North Pole in 1947. I begin to suspect there was something mighty fishy about why the Department of the Navy in Washington refused comment on whether Admiral Byrd made a flight to the North Pole in 1947. {| had written a letter dated
