Herbert Hollick-Kenyon

Herbert Hollick-Kenyon (17 April 1897 – 30 July 1975) was a British-Canadian aircraft pilot who made significant contributions towards aviation in Antarctica.

Prior to the start of World War II, Hollick-Kenyon participated as a pilot during several search-and-rescue missions for polar expeditions which had gone missing.

These missions included searching for the MacAlpine Expedition in 1929 and Sigizmund Levanevsky who went missing during a trans-polar flight from Moscow to Alaska in 1937.

Hollick-Kenyon (serving as a replacement for Balchen) and Ellsworth left on 23 November 1935 from Dundee Island bound for Richard E. Byrd's base camp at Little America.
