The Disappearance of Amelia Earhart & Fred Noonan

00:00:59

Aviation pioneer, Amelia Earhart, wants to be the first woman to fly around the world. On June 1st, 1937, Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, board their Lockheed Electra and begin the 29,000-mile journey. On July 2nd, when they leave New Guinea bound for Howland Island, they are only 7,000 miles short of their goal. Early that morning, somewhere over the pacific, the U.S. Coast Guard loses communication with Earhart. A rescue attempt commences immediately and becomes the most extensive air and sea search in naval history. After scouring 250,000 square miles of ocean, the United States government calls off the operation. To this day, Earhart’s fate remains unknown, but most experts believe they were either lost at sea or marooned on Gardner Island. The discovery of a photograph reignites the alternative theory that Earhart and Noonan were captured by the Japanese, despite the image being originally published in 1935.
