This story has never tweaked my interest, and I am an aviation enthusiast.

I always viewed this story of Amelia Earhart the same way I view any story about an aviator of any sex who flew long distances across water prior to WWII and disappeared...things happen, and in those aircraft, they aren’t unexpected.

Agreed. The Earhart story is a lesson to all aspiring aviators that taking shortcuts and not being familiar with your equipment can be fatal.

Check out Clyde Pangborn. He did not disappear.
