My Grandfather, late in life, said that when he was in the Navy in the late 1930s, that his ship was sent looking around the Pacific for her.
If you read the article, he has a blurry radar image of something ‘plane like’ on the ocean floor 5000m down. Hardly definitive.
But was Amelia inside the plane? She could have escaped the fuselage and floated to land.
I saw a TV report about this, to me it seemed a publicity stunt by the CEO Tony Romeo.
Is she dead?
He hasn't found the wreckage. He's located a spot at 15,000 ft. where the wreckage "MAY" be located.......
I guess $11 million doesn’t buy an ROV to check out your dubious sonar contacts.
Thanks Biden!
Did she...does she...have any heirs?? Did she have a will??
Tons of planes at the bottom of the Pacific...a dozen times people have claimed to have found it. The best theory and with the most facts is she got picked up by the Japanese and executed sometime later on Saipan sometime before the invasion.
So the “lesson” here is that a woman got famous for getting lost and dying.
And men have been looking for her remains for almost 90 years.
Is someone going to slam me and say AE made the world a better place?
BTW - I seem to recall her adventure was something of a PR stunt she and her publisher husband dreamed up.
No, it has not.
All they accomplished was a fuzzy sonar image at what I recall was 10k feet.
That story doesn’t gel with prior accounts at all. I, for one, am highly skeptical.
I saw the image. It was a swept wing aircraft with no engines on the wing. It looked more like an F-86 type aircraft. Certainly not like a twin-engine straight wing Lockheed Electra.
My instant reaction when I saw the sonar image. That's not an Electra, which among other things was twin-engined.
It does look like a plane. And the islands are in the middle of nowhere relative to major conflicts. However both were bombed by the Japanese early in the war out of concern an airport was/could be there. In 1943 the US built an airfield on Baker. And Amelia was headed for Howland when she disappeared, there could have been a strip. The idea that it could be only her plane seems to be pure speculation. I wish him the best of luck raising a lot more than $10 million to recover the plane. Presuming it's outside US territorial waters.
You’re days late reporting on a story that already has been discredited ... twice.

I believe there are quite a lot of aircraft at the bottom of the Pacific in numerous areas. Without a definitive proof this is a big nothing burger.
Meaning they ran out of money and need the media to spin the story to garner more “donors” and replenish their bank accounts.
She wasn’t the first woman to crash a plane, and she won’t be the last.
