What happened to Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan when they disappeared in the Pacific on the fateful day of July 2, 1937.

They got lost, ran out of fuel, and crashed into the Pacific. It's a big ocean...

Yeah. Why don’t these scumbags look for the remains of our men lost in WWII when they got lost on patrol, ran out of fuel, and crashed into the Pacific?

I don’t give a rat’s ass about Earhart.

Actually, while Earhart was a pioneer aviatrix, she was not a particularly good pilot, and neither she nor Noonan were really adequately trained or experienced to be flying long island hopping journeys. When you hit the coast of Europe, you can use landmarks to guide you. Not so over open ocean.

In cross country races with other female pilots, she did not fare well but, she was media darling.
