Amelia Earhart May Have Survived Crash-Landing

[Trenchfriend]

The last part is interesting.

If Amelia would have had an Catalina flightboat in 1937, would she have survived after running out of gas?

For those of you who are interested, there are still new avenues of investigation out there:

Amelia Earhart wouldn't remain such a compelling figure nearly 80 years after her (presumed) death if she weren't so attractive and if her bearing and manner didn't so strongly suggest a certain sapphic quality.

There's a letter she penned to George Putnam, her husband-to-be, making plain her desire to have a retreat of her own, where she would presumably be free to entertain guests in a manner not consistent with what was thought appropriate for married couples of that era. Or maybe it was just a place where she might enjoy a little solitude. Wink, wink.

She was a show-woman, for sure. She came along when both aviation and motion pictures were novel. She had the looks, she had the "presence," she had her finger on the pulse of her time.

Lascivious, salacious, absolutely nailed it.
Conjecture of a probable epilogue, said skeleton measure likely fits the final puzzle piece onto board.
Residual skull fragment DNA analysis should at least tie this lead down.

Celebrity aviators were part of the fabric of 1930s pop culture in a way that's hard to appreciate today -- they were to the '30s what astronauts were to the '60s, but there's no type of activity that fits into that particular adventure/scientific/stunt rubric today. Earhart was widely known as "Lady Lindy," which was profoundly offensive on multiple levels, and she even considered it to be such at the time, but she had no problem at all with the general idea of being a celebrity or appreciating the perks that being a celebrity brought one during the Depression.

And like so many other celebrities, a mysterious death was the best possible career move. There were other celebrity female aviators in the 1930s, but who remembers Ruth Elder or Mary Goodrich or Florence Klingensmith today?

Or Burma?
The other day, Terry yodles to Burma's window, and her reaction gives some pause to the cause.
I earlier presumed prior chastity betwixt therein; however, my sin of supposition erred. They were intimate.

And, I bet Burma went off like a bottle rocket. A different sort of aviatrix.

The interesting question for me is, in which constitution Amelia must have been, before the start in Lae. I can't imagine, that she was near to "well".
Wouldn't it have been a logical thing to check the radar set immediately after the start, to see if receiving the landbase is working??

And the question, why she didn't made sure, that her radar set and the USCGC Itasca's were geared to each other.

Not much new on the alu-panel.

Man, when will the DNA-testing come to an end??

But the dock photo seems to be not from 1935, because the officials confirmed, that the dock wasn't build until 1936.

But I don't believe the Saipan theory.

 

[Just Jim]

The "dock photo" was published in a Japanese travel guide in 1935. If a particular dock wasn't built until 1936, then the photo was taken elsewhere.

Would it make technical sense, to tow an airplane wreck on whatever kind of trailer, directly behind the ship's screws??

 

[Trenchfriend]

Very interesting!!

[Trenchfriend]

But it's still a fact, that the woman's hair doesn't really match with Amelia Earhardt and the leftside man can be easily a tall Japanese.
And the towing theory on the Koshu is not credible to me.

Yes.

On a separate note, Daily Mail can kiss my entire white backside if they think I'm going to disable my Adblock just to read one lousy, poorly-written article.

A celebrity death other than a “natural” one occurring at an advanced age often goes a long way toward polishing that celebrity’s legacy. Tragedy or scandal, it gets attention.

Wanna get a branch library or public arterial or elementary school or endowed chair or whatever named for you? Do something at least somewhat noteworthy and die young.

How long does a DNA-decoding take??

How long does a DNA-decoding take??

Depends on a lot of factors, not least of which is your budget! I've dealt with this some for professional reasons (paternity, establishing familial relationships, etc). Depending on what kind of test, how busy your lab is, etc, you could have results in a few days to months. Dealing with old bones, it can take longer or even not be possible to do within the current limits of technology.

 

[julianclar]

This is very interesting.

Looks like the DNA analysis is done.
Drumroll.
it is NOT a match. (You’ll have to scroll down the article a little ways. it is under the heading “Kiribati — Human Bones”)
