I hope someone eventually explains whether this expedition really had as much military hardware and manpower as the theorists claim. Kwantus 22:11, 2004 Oct 9 (UTC)

[edit] where, it was then believed, physical and climatic conditions resembled those in Antarctica

And what is in reality? Do not resemble?--Nixer 12:02, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Number of poeple involved?

I may have missed it, but i didn't see a number of total people involved. It says that it is the largest Antartic operation but gives no figures. I think that it should be added in. Maybe at least an estimate. Sirtrebuchet 05:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I found multiple newspaper sources that cite the task force as having 4,700 men, 13 ships. However, the number of aircraft in the multiple sources I check varied from 23 to 33. So, I simply noted "multiple aircraft" in the article. Fishdecoy 02:42, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accomplishments, early departure

Article seems to concentrate more on who died as opposed to what the operation accomplished.

The Wiki article on Richard Byrd asserts the operation terminated 6 months early for unknown reasons, a point not addressed in the operation's article.
