“Given the savagery of the Japanese, I wouldn’t be surprised. “

Yeah, they didn’t mess around, especially if they interests in the area. A passing carrier battle group wouldn’t want to be eyeballed either.

TIGHAR is going to search for it around the island’s waters next year using a submarine.

Tropical cannibalism is only good for a week or so before the meat spoils.

I think Tokyo Rose would have mentioned that. Hugh propaganda for the Japs.

I could tell you the answer if I knew the standard deviation of Nikumarorian arm lengths. I’ll get back to you real soon.

They were building runways and bases against what they said and agreed to with the League of Nations. It would have been an embarrassment for them to reveal as it wasn’t their Nation.

“Yes, I have followed their work and it makes a lot of sense. I feel sorry for her and Fred Noonan. To die as a castaway on a remote island....must have been just horrible. The emotions she must have gone through and despair, not to mention the extreme heat on that island. Awful.”

And there is evidence she survived for some time (weeks? months), and I come back to the same you do, how horrible that must have been, the abject remoteness, the despair, the coconut crabs...
