One interesting bit of history: Lae, New Guinea later became a Jap airbase in WWII. Their ace Saburo Sakai flew out of there on missions to Port Moresby and over the Solomon Islands. Sakai tells his story in his book Samurai.

Interesting. The whole story is interesting. I have a picture of her stepping onto the wing of her plane, my fatherIL called her name, she turned around and he snapped a great picture.
It is very cool.

My question is . . . why did she dress like Howdy Doody?

The questions about it also being a spy flight prior to WWII are still among the unanswered items surrounding that pioneering aviatrix.

Believe it or not, this girl's name is Amelia Earhart. She's a traffic reporter for 9News in Denver.
