Dealer Notes
Not in AB. Scientific results from Nobile’s Italia airship expedition to Spitsbergen, mainly taken on the second flight from Kings Bar, Spitsbergen to Nicholas II Land. Finn Malgren made weather and ice observations, Aldo Pontremoli and František Běhounek, recorded magnetic phenomena and radioactivity. The results appeared ten years after the expedition, and perhaps for this reason were not widely distributed.
