| All Pranks and False Alarms Aside: New Images May End the Hundred Year Earhart Mystery!
by Dick Hefton
World news sources this week announced that a marine robotics company found outlines of an airplane deep in South Pacific seas which, they believe may likely be the Earhart plane lost July, 1937. Deep Sea Vision, a South Carolina company, produced blurred undersea sonar images about 100 miles west of Howland Island, Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan’s destination, may have been miscalculated and missing their planned refueling stop.
Earhart was a “Rock Star” in those days when aviation was growing rapidly and She won several world piloting records. Her movie producer-promoter husband helped her public image as well. She was the first woman and only the second person to fly solo across the Atlantic in 1932; She set a woman’s altitude record in 1922; first person to fly non-stop across the country, 1932; the first person to fly solo from Honolulu to Oakland, CA. The magnitude of the notoriety following her disappearance from her attempted round-the world flight fed life-long universal curiosity for the “rest of the story,” converting cultish armies of fans and ongoing extravagant exploratory excursions searching the South seas. Speculation persisted that they perhaps survived but were lost on a desert island, or captured and imprisoned by the Japanese. Fantasy supplied imagined scenarios to explain the unexplained end of Amelia Earhart.
The mystery never drew me to join the prolific mystery-loving groupies. My curiosity has been consistent, but passive and imbedded in Amelia Earhart’s lingering, unfinished story. “Everybody loves a mystery.” READ MORE
