And that first Pear Radar could see a target at 1000 AGL only from about 20 miles. Up on the peak, it could find a plane at 25,000 from 150 miles.

The book Lost Star has a photo of Earhart being sworn in as a Major in the US Army Air Corps Reserves by a General.
Also has some info on her second Electra-—not the one wrecked in Hawaii—such as a pic of it being under armed Army guard and about her stop in Florida to have the plane fitted with Fairchild aerial survey cameras.
Noonan was commissioned as a Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy
Reserves.
That book had some errors but still included stuff I have not seen anywhere
else.
PS, was Musick the captain of the Clipper that vanished?
