Oskar Omdal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lieutenant Oskar Omdal (1895 – December 25, 1927) was a pilot in the Norwegian Navy. He died along with Frances Wilson Grayson and Brice Goldsborough as they were flying to Nova Scotia to prepare to cross the Atlantic Ocean to set the record for the first woman to cross.

In 1923 Omdal and fellow Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen tried to fly from Wainwright, Alaska to Spitsbergen across the North Pole. Amundsen and Omdal's aircraft was damaged and they abandoned the journey.
