The Italian airship designer and pilot Umberto Nobile had flown to the North Pole and beyond in 1926.He resolved to go back to the Arctic with a new airship in 1928.There were areas of the Arctic that had not been explored and it was believed that new lands might be there to be discovered.The expedition had geographical and scientific aims, but the political environment was also an important motivator.Mussolini and his Fascist party had come to power in 1922 and a successful expedition to the Arctic would be good propaganda.Instead, however, the 'Italia' was to disappear on its return from Greenland, on 25 May 1928.By the time the expedition was over, eight of the crew and nine attempted rescuers were dead and scores more had been put in harm's way.This is the story of the search for Nobile, the 'Italia', and his crew, and the many men from many countries who searched for them.
