70th Anniversay of Earhart Disappearance Mystery - VOA Story July 2. 2007 marks the 70th anniversary of one of the great mysteries of the twentieth century. On that day, celebrated aviator Amelia Earhart disappeared without a trace. Interest in the woman and the mystery persists to this day. Visitors to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington continue to seek out information about Amelia Earhart. "Earhart's disappearance has certainly kept her name in the public eye," says curator Dorothy Cochrane. In fact, 70 years after her disappearance, Earhart is still considered the world's most famous woman pilot. In the 1920s and 30s - the golden age of aviation - when men like Charles Lindbergh were breaking records and making headlines, Amelia Earhart proved she could compete on an equal footing. In 1932, five years after Lindbergh made his groundbreaking solo flight across the Atlantic, Earhart did the same. "And she was also only the second person to solo, which a lot of people don't realize, after Charles Lindbergh did it in 1927," says Cochrane. National Air and Space Museum curator Dorothy Cochrane says Amelia Earhart was both a pioneer for women's rights and a pioneer aviator. Many of her flying records were firsts for both genders. Earhart was the first person to fly solo from California to Hawaii, from Los Angeles to Mexico City and from Mexico City to Newark. In 1937, six years after Wiley Post circumnavigated the globe, Earhart set out to become the first woman to fly around the world. "She wanted this to be her last great, exploratory, record-breaking flight," says Cochrane. Earhart was flying a new aircraft, the Lockheed Electra, which was loaded with the latest technology. The whole world was following her progress, Cochrane says, "because she did do a flight around the equator, which is the longest way you can go around the world." Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were making the 46,000-kilometer journey in hops, and had only two more to go. They were flying from Lae, New Guinea, to Howland Island, a distance of 4100 kilometers. The U.S. Coast Guard cutter Itasca was anchored off-shore to help guide them in, and maintained radio contact with Earhart. "Her final transmission, she says 'I am near you. I am on you but I cannot see you. I'm following a line of position that is near Howland Island.' And the signals were strong," says Cochrane. "That is the clearest evidence we have that she was near Howland Island, but could not find it." In order to accommodate more fuel for the long flight, Earhart had decided to take only a radio transmitter with her, instead of more advanced equipment that may have helped her hone in on the Itasca's signal. "She compromised herself with this equipment, leaving it behind, and that is a major contributing factor to her disappearance," Cochrane says. After a massive search, the plane and its crew were declared lost at sea three weeks after it disappeared. Almost immediately, people began to speculate about what happened. There were theories that Earhart and Noonan were captured by the Japanese military and possibly executed as spies, in the months leading up to World War Two, or that they landed on an uninhabited island and died waiting to be rescued. But National Air and Space Museum curator Dorothy Cochrane says she believes Earhart's plane ran out of fuel and crashed into the Pacific Ocean. "All of the different areas where she is said to have landed have been explored. So if we're going to find anything it is going to be about 17,000 feet [27,000 kilometers] down at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean not too far from Howland Island." Until that evidence is found, there will always be those who believe Amelia Earhart did not perish at sea - and the mystery of her fate will endure.

amelia earhart song This song is for all those female (staffs/employees) working in the Airline Industry. They should consider Amelia Earhart as their Flying Icon, cos she's the one who took initiative in popularizing Females with the Airline Industry. Amelia Earhart was the first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross, which she was awarded as the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, the Cross of Knight of the Legion of Honor from the French Government and the Gold Medal of the National Geographic Society from President Herbert Hoover. After a flight lasting 14 hours, 56 minutes during which she contended with strong northerly winds, icy conditions and mechanical problems, Earhart landed in a pasture at Culmore, north of Derry, Northern Ireland. The landing was witnessed by Cecil King and T. Sawyer. When a farm hand asked, "Have you flown far?" Amelia replied, "From America." The site now is the home of a small museum, the Amelia Earhart Centre. Red River Dave McEnery wrote this song on July 2, 1939, the day Amelia disappeared. He just needed something new for his band to perform so he wrote this song in the afternoon and performed it that night. AMELIA EARHART'S LAST FLIGHT (1939) (Red River Dave McEnery) Lyrics: A ship out on the ocean, just a speck against the sky, Amelia Earhart flying that sad day; With her partner, Captain Noonan, on the second of July Her plane fell in the ocean, far away. Chorus: There's a beautiful, beautiful field Far away in a land that is fair. Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart Farewell, first lady of the air. She radioed position and she said that all was well, Although the fuel within the tanks was low. But they'd land on Howland Island to refuel her monoplane, Then on their trip around the world they'd go. (This part is missing in this song) Well, a half an hour later an SOS was heard, The signal weak, but still her voice was brave. In shark-infested waters her plane went down that night In the blue Pacific, to a watery grave. There's a beautiful, beautiful field Far away in a land that is fair. Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart Farewell, first lady of the air. Well, now you have heard my story of that awful tragedy, We pray that she might fly home safe again. Oh, in years to come though others blaze a trail across the sea, We'll ne'er forget Amelia and her plane. There's a beautiful, beautiful field Far away in a land that is fair. Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart Farewell, first lady of the air. Find more information about Amleia Earhart at this link below ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_earhart ===================================== NICE FUNNY COINCIDENCE Mine and Amelia Earhart's date of birth are the same 24 July. Amelia had a passion for Airplane, I too had a strong passion for Airplane since 4-5 years old. Amelia's hand and my hand prints (palmistry - heart, head, fate & life lines) have some very similar line patterns ... including that cut on the bottom of the lifeline ... lol (Check for Amelia's hand on the net). The passion for Airplane made me create a Logo in the year 2000 by taking inspiration from TWA Airlines logo. And eventually when I created the Logo it look different and nice. But today when I look at that logo which I created way back it shows merger of two Airlines TWA and American Airlines (which happened in 2001 Dec). And the funny part I also discovered that Amelia did represent TWA Airlines. (So the logo that I created was "Ahead of Times" which told something about much before it eventually or actually happened later) Lastly ..... I never knew who Amelia Earhart was until a year back or so !! Now isn't the above coincidences some nice funny & sweet coincidences. I was curious and wanted to know, weather people born on the same dates, can they do really have same kind of likings, interests and thinking pattern(attitude) .... etc. And look what I bumped across. Oh boy hahahah ... My experiment was funny as well as fruitful. Somethime I laugh imagining, if had I been a professional pilot, then my probability of chances in dissappearing would have been pretty high .... lol. I agree that there might be lots of people born on 24 July but to come accross with the above said coincidences it is something really nice ;-) QUEEN OF THE SKY New model's of Aircraft will come and go as time pass by, but for me the "Queen of Sky " will always be a Boeing 747-200. No aircraft can match the beauty, the charm and the streamlined fuselage a 747-200 has. Not as a profession and neither for hobby's sake but one day I will fly a "Mechanical Bird" just for the sake of my passion I have for an Airplane !!!

What Happened to Amelia Earhart Interviews with three eyewitnesses, who were on Saipan in July of 1944 when Amelia Earhart's airplane was found and destroyed by the US Military. Thomas E Devine, Robert Wallack (who found her briefcase) and Julious Nabers, who decoded the messages for Colonel Wallace that stated they had found her plane, and that they were going to destroy it. He also guarded the plane for 24 hours. These interviews are part of my film "Earhart," the official website is www.earhartmovie.com, and I'm hoping to start filming the dramatic portions in the spring of 07. All three of these gentlemen have passed away, and my condolences to each of their families. They were generous to tell me their stories on camera, and only hoped that one day I could make my film about what really happened to Amelia. With their help from above, God willing, I shall.

AMELIA EARHART TV Movie 1976 The opening segment from a 1976 telemovie about world famous American Aviatrix, Amelia Earhart. Titled amazingly enough, "Amelia Earhart", it starred Sussn Clark and John Forsythe. Amelia Mary Earhart, was born on the 24th of July 1897 and went missing on the 2nd of July 1937. She was declared dead on the 5th of January 1939. She was a noted American aviation pioneer, author and women's rights advocate. Earhart was the first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross, which she was awarded as the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She set many other records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences, and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. During an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe in 1937, Earhart disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island . Fascination with her life, career and disappearance continues to this day. The Telemovie aired on Channel 7 in Australia. Tags: Amelia Earhart 1937 1976 Movie TV Susan Clark John Forsythe |

Amelia Earhart and Jerrie Mock are Both Aviation Pioneers The first woman to fly solo around the world was Geraldine "Jerrie" Mock, who in 1964 set out on an ambitious and dangerous solo flight around the world in the family Cessna 180 aircraft. Nearly a month later, she completed the mission Amelia Earhart was trying to accomplish, but Jerrie Mock's historic trip has remained hidden for 44 years. I am a screenwriter and pilot intending to get Jerrie's story told in a full-length feature film so I can bring her fantastic tale to every person in the country. My goal is to inspire young girls and women to pursue flying as a career, and by developing a family film suitable for young kids depicting a strong female heroine in the lead role, the story of Jerrie and her beloved aircraft "Charlie" will propel this legend into the mainstream media and bring her the respect and notoriety she deserves.
