I have read a couple of times that Earhart was not a particularly good pilot. Maybe not a bad one but her lack of skills may have had a part in what happened.

I remember Chuck Yeager said Jackie Cochran was a much better pilot than some of the other famous ones. Jackie was the first woman to break the sound barrier.

In fact Yeager considered her an outstanding pilot.

Didn't she join the Marx Brothers.

Or maybe she re-surfaced as D.B. Cooper. Neither one has reappeared.

I have read that too. However, I am still intrigued by Amelia’s mystery and have no objection for those who want to try to figure it out. If she did die on that small island atoll (whatever it was) after the crash, it surely must have been a horrifying thing. All alone, no hope in sight. Incredible heat. I saw a TV program about the search a few years ago.
