While Commander Byrd slept on the first night in Paris, Pilot Acosta, despite a broken collar bone, continued to pilot his comrades through an informal demonstration at Joseph Zelli's justly celebrated Montmartre night club. Lieutenant Noville, rough, ready and with gay French blood in him was perfectly at home. Blond, blocky Bernt Balchen did not come into his own until his fellow Scandinavians held a special Viking evening...
