And then there are the rumors that the Japanese killed her for straying over one of their secret sites pre-WWII.

And then there is the movie that makes her a heroine for accepting an assignment to deliberately go missing pre-WWII, so our air force would have an excuse to do a massive search for her over secret Japanese sites.

I’m still rooting for the turtle.

I have often wondered why AE took the southern route round the world rather than the northern route through Russia and Alaska. Wiley Post (the greatest aviator most Americans have never heard of) flew the northern route solo four years previous and had no problem with navigation (no 2500 mile stretches of open water).
