>”Amelia was only a so-so pilot and a worse navigator.”
A few years ago, I saw on TV, a documentary on her life. Even the producers had to admit she couldn’t fly worth a darn and navigated even worse than that. Seems I want to say she had 3 or 4 major accidents, but cant remember the particulars. (I think most of them were on landing).
As some have stated, I think was a case of pandering to the press, to become famous for doing something she probably shouldn’t have been doing.
It seems like someone turned on the star machine and walked away. Now the machine is cranking out 'razzle dazzle widgets' ad infinitum none of whom can sing, dance or act. Americans are eating it up because when discernment has become a bad word, everything is ‘special’
