Not bad. I would also mention the fact that Fred Noonan was an alcoholic. Most historians think that he got intoxicated and passed out in the plane. That is why she was on the radio and not Fred Noonan.
Overall a very good job. Technically speaking I offer:
1. It is pronounced "Da-Moine". It's French and the "S's" are silent.
2. Putnam did not "select" her for her 1st Transatlantic flight. That was Amy Phipps Guest. A very, very wealthy woman. Earhart, as you say, went as a passenger.
3. Her last flight actually started in California.
I do wish the narrator could correctly pronounce "Des Moines", as he should know the capital cities of his neighboring states; however, I think this is a very nice general summary of Amelia's life. Thank you for including her childhood, which something many documentaries overlook.
@begoneyoubum lol Lies if this was true he would have told someone.

@begoneyoubum I would only believe this if I actually saw the pictures, still a possible theory, but who found her?

@begoneyoubum And does your grandfather ever intend to release this information? Why has he never done so?

Would have been better if you had employed kids who can actually articulate words properly.
