" ... The Electra was found on June 18, 1944 on Aslito airfield by US Marines. I have 6 of them in the film - they had other eyewitnesses standing with them.
The US Military identified it as Earhart's Electra because that was the contents of the decoded message by US Marine Nabors.
These men served their country and speak the truth.
For those of you who think they may not be, I suggest you take that up with a Marine sometime.
Some of these men were wounded in battle, I suggest to those who may consider they're making this up, to serve your country in the same manner and get back to me.
This clip is Interviews with three eyewitnesses, (there are more in the documentary) who were on Saipan in July of 1944 when Amelia Earhart's airplane was found and destroyed by the US Military.
Thomas E Devine, Robert Wallack (who found her briefcase) and Julious Nabers, who decoded the messages for Colonel Wallace that stated they had found her plane, and that they were going to destroy it.
He also guarded the plane for 24 hours.
These interviews are part of my film "Earhart," the official website is www.earhartmovie.com, and I'm hoping to start filming the dramatic portions in the spring of 07.
All three of these gentlemen have passed away, and my condolences to each of their families.
They were generous to tell me their stories on camera, and only hoped that one day I could make my film about what really happened to Amelia.
Based on interviews with US GI's who saw Earhart's plane on Saipan.
I've collected over 200 eyewitnesses who saw her after she disappeared -
- people who claim her plane came down in Mili Atoll, where she was arrested by Japanese forces,
she and the plane were taken from Mili Atoll, transported by ship to Majuro, then Jaluit,
then Saipan where she was incarcerated in Garapan prison for a number of years before being executed.
