Earhart said that women needed to take chances and grow. She did--the last flight is tragic, but she did what she loved, that's what matters. Had courage, natural charisma--and a great smile. She's an American original. Unforgettable.

@WOKEN'T Ouch, she went throu AC like Kardashians do plastic surgerys. Not being interested in men she married for $. You don't accentuate the negative when promoting something. There was a lot of money to be gained or lost, rights to the story, a feather in Beeches hat, radio navigation was the newest and greatest feature in AC. and she was a hero to the womens movement. The majority of pilots that knew her firmly believed that she wasn't a good pilot. We love mysteries, putting clues together to form the solution to the puzzle. Throw in WWII and the possibility of her spying on the Japanese for America adds more intrigue. Pilotage and dead reckoning are extremely difficult over water because you have to make up check points, guesstimate the winds aloft, and come up with an answer. Just a guess in the middle of nowhere doesn't cut it. I think she she had an unexpected headwind, burned more fuel and surprise splash.

The aircraft depicted at 9:45, Avro Avian IV airworthy at the Golden Wings Flying Museum in Blaine, Minnesota. It was once the oldest flying aircraft in Australia and has been converted from an Avian II configuration. It is painted to represent G-EBUG, an aircraft Amelia Earhart flew across the United States in 1928-1929. In all, there are nine survivors of all marks from around the world.

I already knew about her life and accomplishments and her mysterious disappearance, the reason i watched this one hour documentary was because i thought they finally found her plane wreckage or something. This documentary surely gave me more information than i had, but it kept streching the same information for one hour..her disappearance is still mystery..

2 companies spent several million dollars looking in the depths around Howland Island -- the end result was the same as 1937 when the Navy found absolutely wreckage let alone an oil slick! They didn't find so much as a propeller blade from the plane because it NEVER sank near Howland Island! I think the natives in the Marshall Islands and Saipan were telling the truth... she crashed hundreds of miles off-course. She had a LOT more fuel in that modified Electra than Elgen Long and the other "crash and sink" experts think. The US Marines saw the Electra on Saipan in 1944... it was destroyed shortly after the occupation of the island by American forces to prevent certain truths being leaked to the public. It was an election year and it wouldn't look good if it appeared like an American president let one of his most famous supporters die in captivity when he knew all about her whereabouts. There's a decent case to be made that Earhart was spying on the Japanese Navy in 1937, trying to get evidence back to show they were building up fortifications on the islands and violating all kinds of treaties (which they did in fact). Circumstantial evidence or not, there's a lot more people in Marshalls and Saipan saying she was there... They got a lot more to support them than the official storyline which the federal government doesn't have so much of a plane rivet's support for! FYI, if people think crash and sink is a joke, TIGHAR's storyline is even sicker. It's a scam to get money from gullible who have too much money and don't know the story of Gardner Island better.... Earhart was never there and there's so much junk on that island from a half dozen different settlements that you can make it look like anything you want to people who don't know squat...

+Krisna Reece No one really knows what happened to her after the Japanese got her... There's two schools of thought there. 1) The simplest conclusion is that she died in captivity from disease or the Japanese eventually executed her (and Noonan) prior to the US forces landing on Saipan in 1944. Oh, by the way, the Saipan operation was the Pacific equivalent of D-Day! The fact of the matter is that there is only hearsay about her fate. Unless someone comes up with identifiable DNA, an official post-loss report/secret document, all we've got is hearsay about her fate. What happened to the Electra seems to be locked in. I've heard at least one story that they found a piece of the Electra some years back but it was never verified. There's another story that they DID find a hydraulic gauge or something to that effect on Saipan. Officially, nothing's been verified (as far as recovered wreckage/pieces) but it's almost certain that the plane was destroyed and buried on Saipan. 2) Earhart and Noonan were taken in by the Japanese but eventually repatriated to the States and assumed new identities. There's some circumstantial evidence for this... It's not that hard to find. A couple of books have been written about the possibility that she was returned to the US after WWII. There's some controversy over whether she applied for Japanese naturalization (she loved Japan but was no warmonger) prior to 1939 -- some documents suggest she did something that really teed off the FDR administration --, did some aeronautical consulting for Japanese manufacturers prior to WWII, and was possibly made to do some of the Tokyo Rose radio broadcasts. It's really controversial stuff that paints her in a less-than-flattering light but people aren't looking at the entire picture here. She could have been duped, realized what was happening but was in a bad spot, and had no choice but to cooperate to a point. This storyline suggests she eventually ended up in a prisoner camp in China was she was liberated at the end of the War and taken back to the US under an assumed name: Irene Bolam. As for Noonan? There's a lot less known about him, period... They have a hard time finding or DIDN'T find a birth certificate for him or his alleged post-loss alias, William Van Dusen. His story is even WEIRDER than Earhart's if you can believe that!

I just listened again to the interview with Betty Klenck, the teenager in Florida that heard Amelia’s distress call. As a retired criminal investigator I am convinced she really did hear Amelia’s calls for help. She still had her notebook from 70+ years ago filled with contemporary notes, song lyrics and drawings with Amelia’s distress call right in the middle of it. There are too many details that she wrote down for it to be fake. She wrote “Howland”, “157”, and her descriptions of Amelia and Fred fighting over the microphone with Fred wanting out of the plane because it was too hot is just not something anybody would think to fake. In fact, two men did fake hearing her call and it was described as a sterile call for help with none of the drama that Betty described. Amelia simply had to have landed on an island somewhere and survived for a period, it’s more logical to assume that than to assumes Betty’s notes were faked. Occam’s Razor. The simplest solution is likely the answer. Running out of gas and plunging into the ocean was the simplest answer until I heard Betty’s story. I’m not saying it was Gardner Island but again Betty wrote down “sounds like New York City” and the wreck of the Norwich City is there. That is spooky. Betty heard Amelia crying and heard her last words. Now that she has passed, I wonder if Betty found out the truth.

It is not fair to blame Earheart's navigator, Frederick J. Noonan (1893-1937). and his alleged drinking problem. Noonan had a pilot's license, a sea license (#121190) which authorized him to "Master Class Navigator, any ocean" (i.e. license to navigate and pilot any ship, anywhere). "Noonan was rumored to be a heavy drinker... That was fairly common during this era and there is no contemporary evidence Noonan was an alcoholic." Furthermore Noonan was NOT fired from Pan American, for drinking - as stated here. Noonan was, by far, the most experienced aviator in that Lockheed Electra when he and Earthart disappeared. And as a professionel sailor, pilot and navigator, he knew how to operate a radio, too. "During the early 1930s, he worked for Pan American World Airways as a navigation instructor in Miami and ... eventually assuming the duties of inspector for all of the company's airports.... Noonan was subsequently responsible for mapping Pan Am's clipper routes across the Pacific Ocean, participating in many flights to Midway Island, Wake Island, Guam, the Philippines, and Hong Kong. [Thus, Noonan already had a] reputation as an expert navigator, along with his role in the development of commercial airline navigation, had already earned him a place in aviation history. The tall, very thin, dark auburn-haired and blue-eyed 43-year-old navigator was living in Los Angeles. He resigned from Pan Am because he felt he had risen through the ranks as far as he could as a navigator, and he had an interest in starting a navigation school."

robynn, you are correct in saying he was expert. what very few know, and i learned navigation before my navy time and had to get much better during those navy years, when you deal with crossing the international date line, everything about navigation changes. your almanac is based on date/time GMT specifically. stars are considered to be absolute, that is they do not move. (not concerned with the fact they are, we are talking tables of navigation, they are considered fixed and the earth's movement is then calculated) when navigators who are not used to crossing the date line are doing so, the errors in navigation are huge. for our girl Amelia to get on the line which lead her to crash on the island ( say crash since her partner was injured) was no small feat. the was probably too far south due to compensation for what she assumed would be northern hemisphere winds when she was still south (she drifted further south) is remarkable. it is always a pleasure to see a thinking, informed comment when i'm reading through what is posted. in a post that might not have posted, i noted the way direction finding worked and why radar if it existed would never be spoken of. look up "lucy has one eye" to get a perspective of radar at the time which even talking about it was dealt with severely excellent post, robynn

In essence, Earhart assured both her own as well as Fred Noonan's death.

His voice is so awesome!

Nothing solved though an interesting documentary how can you say mystery solved without proof, complete waste of time once again regarding Amelia.

It seems highly likely that the storm at 5 hours was a major factor in the flight going way off course from the Howland Island target. Also, the Pacific is vast and Howland is a speck and coupled with technical problems, the flight appeared to be doomed from the start. It's possible that the trip was too much for Earhart and coupled with her exhaustion, it's not really surprising that they failed to land there. When the PNG pilot talks about how he would be very nervous about attempting a Howland island flight, it becomes clear how dangerous Earhart's attempt really was.

Correct, Julia, and Amelia was her own worst enemy by failing to properly plan & prepare for such an undertaking; example --- coordination between herself and the US Navy/US Coast Guard was very rudimentary at best.

There's a newer documentary out. They found a campfire, dead roasted birds and American freckle cream on Nikamoru (used to be Gardner Island) and a photo with maybe an airplane wheel sticking out of the water, plus transcripts of further transmissions on her frequency where she calmed an apparently injured Noonan. But it's certain she didn't live long if that WAS her (which can't be proved of course)

This is very cool. Class got me here lmaoo

"two hours of fuel remaining". That's really not much fuel if you think about it. If they got lost, they could easily burn that up. They ran out of fuel and they likely died on impact. Plane ditching is usually not successful. The ocean is huge. It would be a miracle to find a trace. No more mystery.

If the plane was out of fuel, the giant 1000 gallon tank would make a great flotation device for the plane. It could have delayed it's sinking for hours. Especially if the wings broke off on impact. That means the currents could carry the plane miles before sinking.

They say she took off from Newfoundland and show a point on the north coast of Labrador where there is nothing, certainly no city to take off from. I don’t hold much hope for them finding her with this geography knowledge.

I love how they are so confident but they are wrong she made it to Nikumeroro

Earhart landed her Lockheed L10E, not on Mili Atoll in the Marshalls, but rather in a location which enabled her to transmit radio messages for about one week following her disappearance.

The problem with this documentary is it is assuming her final transmission was to the Itasca, that is not true, people on ham radio and short wave radio could hear Amelia as far as the east coast in the United States. A teenager in Florida could hear Amelia and even wrote what she said in a notebook.

@paulbislin8471

JENDALL714 even the Itasca still heard her hours after the so called „last call“!

Still not found eight years on...

I had a laugh when the narrator said Earhart had to "gun the engines" .Sounds like something bank robbers would yell at their wheelman in a gangster movie.

Well, her trailing antenna, VITAL for HF communications broke off during the PNG departure. I know, as I spoke to Sid Marshall as a teenager, who was a veteran pilot operating in PNG at the time. Sid also helps Earhart and Noonan .re-fuel. One thing that always puzzles me is WHY Fred Noonan went along with it. I thought they would have turned around and landed to fix it, but the axel weight was to high for the landing gear.

Lesson learned: Don't let the drunk guy navigate

So…7 years ago, this program stated that they’ll explain and find Amelia…..apparently I haven’t heard that news yet.

Suffice she wont be coming back

13:00 what technology was used to relocate Los Angeles? why when they moved LA did they leave the Salton Sea?

My question is: which direction was she flying on the 157/337 line? north or south? Nobody aims directly for their mark, in navigating.. you aim slightly off, so you know which way to turn to cross it. Did she aim north of Howland? or south of it? This has been a standard tactic for 1000 years of sail and 100 years of flight. My guess is that she plotted south and turned north, where many have guessed she plotted just north and turned south. I think the plane is more likely to be found northeast of Howland.. perhaps as far as 200 miles that direction, also short of the island because of the increased fuel consumption. It is also possible that the inverse is true, and the plane will be found southeast of Howland.. but far short of any other island.

To get this in perspective, in to-days world there are around 14 single-engine light aircraft that fly the Pacific to Australia each month. It's pretty much a routine. It highlights just how great engines like Contention and Lycoming are. Reliability is amazing. I have spent a lot of time pondering just what Nav., knowledge Earhart had. Technology-wise the HF frequencies ie., the 7 and 14 MHZ bands have an amazing signal carrying range. I usto talk with a ham radio guy in Chile on 7MHZ with 5watts no trouble. BUT meteorology varies greatly across the Pacific and frequencies like 7 and 14 MHZ can be seriously effective. So you can't make an assessment about what happened to Earhart as we don't know the met conditions on the day. The other consideration is flying the Lockheed, was it a hand full. I would say yes it was like any twin even to-day. What is the possibility of the radial engines giving trouble? I believe they were one of the most reliable engines ever built.

Morse code is so easy to learn. I can teach anyone in a few hours and to be fairly fluent with it in a day. Sad to think about how that one crucial thing could have saved their lives being into amateur radio and knowing how efficiently and effectively CW propagates through the air with very little radiated power.

“ gas running low,,, we are on the line 157- 337 flying north and south “ Fred would not waste fuel flying in circles. That line flys directly over Gardner. They took off with maximum fuel load for reserve of adverse head wind. Arrived at line southerly of Howland and cloud cover may have obscured horizon. Reception antenna below fuselage was damaged by main wheel kicked up stone on rough strip at Lae. Ship so heavy used all available runway. At arrival over Itasca cloud cover. She was southerly of intended line. She was low on fuel not out. Search on line for known chain by visual and minimal airspeed with now vastly lighter aircraft. Lean carburetor setting for maximum fuel conservation. Remember the craft was a essentially a special adaptation for flying fuel tank with small space for Fred in tail. He could crawl over cells to access left seat however. Probably there to help visual at last moments. Radio may have been inadvertently made non transmitting in this leg of flight. Tail wind from southern flight ( from Howland ) allowed remaining fuel to land at reef near Norwich City wreckage. Reef at low tide there is remarkable landing able. Radio was able to transmit ( from static position on reef) possibly by discovery of loose contact. Low tide allowed for brief runs of right engine for power supply. High tide eventually takes craft out to sea. Fuel cells now exhausted provide as pontoon flotation for time enough to become hopelessly lost to history.

The best explanation I’ve heard so far

This video suggests that she was navigating. She was not, she had one the best celestial Uses sextan to navigate by position of the sun) navigators available. Not so bad using a compass the stay on the proper heading, especially with height to compensate for slight errors.

These comments are disappointing. The documentary is called “In Search of Amelia Earhart”, not “We Found Amelia Earhart”. It didn’t even use clickbait! Silly for you all to complain about a FREE documentary on KZread. Be a little more appreciative, it’s a well produced video! :)

This is the best video I’ve seen on this no conspiracy theories you know actually what happened in my opinion she just ran out of fuel. It was close to the island because the signal strength was so strong. She had to close.

The Dr has beautiful eyes I respect her nerve

I figure anytime there is a search for something lost, or someone lost, to make the search payoff, they have to find something, even if they actually found nothing. Earhart probably crashed into the ocean, the plane sank and its occupants drowned. But I said "probably" because don't know that for sure.

MAY YOU ALL HATERS STOP COMMENTING STUFF LIKE "Go back to the kitchen"!? TODAY IN THE 21st century, people aren't sexist. People that are sexist are you all crazy mofos that are just wasting time. She is a aviation hero and no one can doubt that. No one is to blame. Even if she left the morse code thing it is reasonable to leave it due to the circumstances. The only thing I'm hating on is the company that helps locate it. They are just doing it to get fame and be more popular. They don't deserve to be the ones with the information. If they were truly trying to find Amelia, they would let other people help find her. Amelia, we (me and the non haters) praise you for the legacy you left behind, I will always remember you. 🙏🏽🙏🏽 People like you inspire to me to become a pilot. Thank you Amelia -Kenny

I watched an episode on Amelia Earhart on the tv show Unsolved Mysteries . There were witnesses on an island that saw a man and woman that matched the description of both Amelia and her co-pilot being taken captive and executed .It's also rumored the plane was set afire and parts discarded .

PS- I'd thoroughly recommend the book 'Amelia Earhart:The Mystery Solved' by Elgen and Marie Long because it goes into incredible detail about radio frequencies etc. However I'd quibble with the 'mystery solved' claim, as the book only gives us a wealth of fascinating jigsaw pieces to put together ourselves, rather than a completed picture.

Quite correct, “mystery solved“ was just to sell books. It’s a plausible theory, but at best suggests the Electra went down in the ocean. There are still many unanswered questions, and it’s far from “solved“. Probably their editor insisted upon it.

She was flying on behalf of president.reconnaissance all the way

What is more funny than anything is the fact of the instrument cluster they showing near the beginning of the film. It is not the cluster of a plane panel, it is from a car cause you can read the odometer. You would think all the effort they put into this film they could at least show the inside of a plane cluster.

If this pans out you have a dream team like no other. This subject comes up from time to time never being resolved.
