Whoah, what a Story!!

[KantianBurke]

Someone set us up the bomb. Emilia, make your time.

May be refuted in near future-per History Channel (or was it Discovery?). Anyway, search teams that worked much of ocean wreakage will deploy. They used super computers to figure time from her last radio transmission, air speed, location,etc. They seem to feel she came up short of Johston Is. and will began search thereabouts.

Guess moral to story is never hire an alocholic as your navigator...

[donozark]

alcoholic. For the spelling Nazis.

I've heard of "revisionism" - but this takes the cake !!!

[Sonny M]

I thought this was a satire joke.

[mhking]

Someone has been drinking something unique....

[martin_fierro]

And contrary to popular belief, her plane was actually made of ... tinfoil!

WHEEEEEEEEE!

[Dog Gone]

We have a policy about those who would rewrite history.

Not at all unbelievable.

Remember that Lindberg was pro-Hitler until the chips fell...
I don't know if he ever served in the European Theater but he was made more famous by his time in the Pacific.
[Which, by the way, suggests a racial bias rather than political.]

What the hell, it's no more absurd than any othe the other theories and it does tie into the lady in NH who many claim to have been Earhart.

Would be most interesting to see any statements from the "ex-MI5 agent...", his step-brother, James Hannon [the American officer], et al.

Most noteworthy failure so far is the lack of reports from all those nuns and nurses supposed to have referred to a fellow internee as 'the Yank' or 'female Lindberg'; seems at least one of them would have talked before now.

PS:
Note to a previous post,
From what I've seen and heard so far, Noonan was a far better navigator than Amelia was a pilot.
She was a media sensation created in large part by her husband's money.

LOL!

And Elvis is still alive and appearing in clubs in Iowa!

The nuns took a vow of silence and the nurses pled guilty to Japanese war crimes and were executed by the allies. Or, they were given new names and protection for knowledge of bacterial/chemical/medical experimentation during the Japanese occupation.

How's THAT for "tinfoil".

[norton]

The second part might explain lousy printing on all those anthrax letters...gotta be late eighties at least.

I saw Amelia Earhart in the early 30's at the airport in Lawton, Oklahoma (true).

She didn't look like a Jap spy to me.

[snopercod]

What a bunch of bovine fecal debris.

Nope, Missouri. :)

"I saw Amelia Earhart in the early 30's at the airport in Lawton, Oklahoma (true). She didn't look like a Jap spy to me."

And, you want us to believe Amelia Earhart flew to Lawton, Oklahoma just to see you? Next thing you'll be claiming this meeting was the inspiration for the airport scene in Cassablanca. I've seen that movie and you're no Bogart.

[Ole Okie]

I've seen that movie and you're no Bogart.

That's all right, Amelia. We'll always have Paris.

Amelia landed at the Lawton airport on a scheduled tour of some sort. She was sufficiently famous that a lot of people turned out to see her, including moi.

But alas, she took off and flew away into the wild blue yonder.

[Ditter]

You saw Amelia in the early 30's?????? Good grief man, you're older than dirt!!!!!!

Sorry, I'm joking, I'm pretty old myself.

But I'm not as old as you! ;9}
