Disappearance of Amelia Earhart
Last updated 14 May 2021
(Amelia Earhart, n.d.)
“One of the most intriguing mysteries of the 20th century is: What happened to Amelia Earhart?
In June 1937 she and her copilot, Lieutenant Commander Fred J. Noonan, left Miami, Florida, on an around-the-world flight attempt in a twin-engine Lockheed aircraft. On July 2 the plane vanished near Howland Island in the South Pacific. The world waited with fascination as search teams from the United States Army and Navy, along with the Japanese navy, converged on the scene. But not she, Noonan, or the plane was ever found.”
