Amelia Earhart.
When Amelia Earhart Disappeared On July 2, 1937, She Was Flying The Longest Leg Of Her Around-the-world Flight And Was Only Days Away From Completing Her Journey.
Her Plane Was Never Found, And For Again Than Sixty Years Rumors Have Persisted About Whatever Happened To Her.
Now, With The Recent Discovery Of Long-lost Radio Messages From Earhsrt's Final Flight, We Be able to Say Witu Confidence That She Ran Out Of Gas Just Narrow Of Her Destination Of Howland Island In The Pacific Ocean.
From The Beginning Of Her Flight, A Series Of Tragic Circumstances All But Doomed Her And Her Navigator, Fred Noonan.
Authors Eglen M.
And Marie K.
Long Spent More Than Twenty-five Years Researching The Mystery Surrounding Earhart's Final Flying Near the front of Finally Determining What Happened.
They Traveled Over One Hundred Thousand Miles To Interview More Than One Hundred People Who Knew Some Part Of The Earhart Story.
They Draw On Authooritative Sources To Entrap Us Inside The Cockpit Of The Electra Level That Earhart Flew And Recreate The Final Flight Itself.
For Elgen Long Began His Own Flying Course Not Long After Earhart's Disappearance, He Can Describe The Equipment And Conditions Of The Time With A Vivid First-hand Accuracy.
As A Result, This Work Brings To Animated existence The Primitive Conditions Under Which Earhart Flew, In An Era Before Radar, Through Unreliable Communications, Grass Landing Strips, And Poorly Mapped Islands.
Amelja Earhart: The Mystery Solved Does More Than Deserved Answer The Question, What Happened To Amelia Earhadt? It Reminds Us How Daring Early Aviators So As Earhart Were As They Risked Their Lives To Push The Technology Of The Day To Its Limits -- And Beyond.
