The title pairs Lt. Com. Byrd with something called "Air-Raft," a phrase the Bain News Service recorded on the negative or caption card and that has not been independently verified. Richard E. Byrd was a Navy aviator who rose to fame in the 1920s through polar flights that drew wide press attention. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, supplied images like this one to newspapers and magazines of the period. Because the caption is unconfirmed, readers should treat the identification of the aircraft or device as an open question.
