I've never understood why this is such a 'great mystery'. If you read the story, she ran out of gas and crashed. The area in the pacific would have been like looking for a needle in a haystack. She made a couple of bad decisions in a time before GPS ect, and got lost. Interesting story for sure, and I must say, an incredible woman for her time, but not really a great mystery.

The mystery isn't about what happened. The mystery is where'd she go.

If we know (approx) where her plane went down in the water, we still don't know anything further.

Lockheed stated that the plane would float indefinately, but not be able to transmit.

At a 10 to 12 knot westerly drift, that floating aircraft would be making up to 250 miles a day, heading straight for the Gilbert islands.

The Japanese Military claimed they went to pick her up. So, where's Amelia?

Thank you for your reply. But let me throw in another. Lockheed said the plane would float? That may be if she managed to gently land in the water. If out of gas, there's no tell how she struck the water. Could have clipped a wing an cartwheeled smashing the plane to pieces. Secondly, Lockheed claims to a plane floating indefinetly are in part, manuafacturers claims. A vehicle designed to fly, especially at the time, is not designed to reisist water in a choppy ocean. Float time is questionable

The Electra was one of the first modern aircraft: built like a truck, all electronic servos, and no hydraulics. There's a solid strut running out into the wings that is two feet high in the passenger cabin -- had to step over it.

Also Earhart said she was flying at 1000 feet. Not hard to bring down a dead-stick plane from 1,000 feet. The 1200 gallon tanks were 12 tanks, so hard to break them all. Then there was the three man yellow life raft. Someone should have survived.

Best, Douglas Westfall

@BarneyFlart The 'dip and dunk' theory is pretty sound -- a good friend (Elgen Long) did great research and a book on it. Still, I've interviewed the Lockheed man who, along with Lockheed, stated that the plane could float indefinitely. So, where's Earhart?

[Speegs23]

Well, that's an interesting story, probably worthy of a nice book I just hope you put it in the fiction section.

[quadbravo]

you can read the text of her transmissions online. just search for "amelia earhart transmissions". one thing is clear, neither noonan or earhart understood how radios function in relation to getting a bearing. their transmissions were too short to get a minimum. they also ripped out morse code hardware, stupidly, during the journey. A good effort but poorly executed.

I've been fascinated with the Earhart mystery for many years and have done much reading on it. There is one episode in particular about a Marshall Islands resident named Bilimon Amaran, who worked as a medic for the Japanese in 1937. He remembered treating a wounded man resembling Fred Noonan around that time on a Japanese Navy ship and also saw a woman and damaged plane on that ship. This is one of the more credible witness accounts.

Amelia Earhart + Amelia's Daughter The latest book by Philip L Moore, its things like this which made me write Amelia's Daughter!

[bimkhoa1123]

she crashed landing but they wer near howland i think thats how u spelled it then she planned this so she flew in a new plane n with to the brumda triangle

[amiel0123456]

But i have some idea or theory about amelia earhart maybe she might be landed at the ocean or in hawaii islands and we all know that in hawaii island their are gyres that might drift you to some other place or island so she might been drifted into bermuda triangle so we all know that no one escapes bermuda triangle so she might been traped in their so long ago.
