The Star Trek: Voyager episode " The 37's" solves the mystery of her disappearance via alien abduction. Move from New York to California Amelia Earhart talking to Charles T.P. Ulm at Oakland Airport, California, USA, 1934 Quote: "Frequencies between 2,504 to 3,497.5 kc were allocated to "Coastal harbor, government, aviation, fixed, miscellaneous". [185] Immediately after the end of the official search, Putnam financed a private search by local authorities of nearby Pacific islands and waters, concentrating on the Gilberts. In late July 1937, Putnam chartered two small boats, and, while he remained in the United States, directed a search of the Phoenix Islands, Christmas (Kiritimati) Island, Fanning (Tabuaeran) Island, the Gilbert Islands, and the Marshall Islands, but no trace of the Electra or its occupants was found. [205]

Earhart set several records, being the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, first as a passenger and later, as a solo pilot. [5]

Earhart graduated from Chicago's Hyde Park High School in 1916. [31] Throughout her troubled childhood, she had continued to aspire to a future career; she kept a scrapbook of newspaper clippings about successful women in predominantly male-oriented fields, including film direction and production, law, advertising, management, and mechanical engineering. [22] She began junior college at Ogontz School in Rydal, Pennsylvania, but did not complete her program.

The plane transmitted on 3105 and 6210kHz. Amelia Earhart stands June 14, 1928 in front of her bi-plane called “Friendship” in Newfoundland.

The first calls, routine reports stating the weather as cloudy and overcast, were received at 2:45 and just before 5am on July 2. These calls were broken up by static, but at this point the aircraft would still be a long distance from Howland. [178] On March 17, 1937, Earhart and her crew flew the first leg from Oakland, California, to Honolulu, Hawaii. In addition to Earhart and Noonan, Harry Manning and Mantz (who was acting as Earhart's technical advisor) were on board. Due to lubrication and galling problems with the propeller hubs' variable pitch mechanisms, the aircraft needed servicing in Hawaii. Ultimately, the Electra ended up at the United States Navy's Luke Field on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor. The flight resumed three days later from Luke Field with Earhart, Noonan and Manning on board. The next destination was Howland Island, a small island in the Pacific. Manning, the only skilled radio operator, had made arrangements to use radio direction finding to home in to the island. The flight never left Luke Field. During the takeoff run, there was an uncontrolled ground-loop, the forward landing gear collapsed, both propellers hit the ground, the plane skidded on its belly, and a portion of the runway was damaged. [141] The cause of the ground-loop is controversial. Some witnesses at Luke Field, including the Associated Press journalist, said they saw a tire blow. [142] Earhart thought either the Electra's right tire had blown and/or the right landing gear had collapsed. Some sources, including Mantz, cited pilot error. [142]

The antennas and their connections on the Electra are not certain. [168] A dorsal Vee antenna was added by Bell Telephone Laboratories. There had been a trailing wire antenna for 500kHz, but the Luke Field accident collapsed both landing gear and wiped off the ventral antennas. [169] After the accident, the trailing wire antenna was removed, the dorsal antenna was modified, and a ventral antenna was installed. It is not certain, but it is likely that the dorsal antenna was only connected to the transmitter (i.e., no "break in" relay), and the ventral antenna was only connected to the receiver. [170] Once the second world flight started, problems with radio reception were noticed while flying across the US; Pan Am technicians may have modified the ventral antenna while the plane was in Miami. [ where?] At Lae, problems with transmission quality on 6210kHz were noticed. [171] Once the flight took off from Lae, Lae did not receive radio messages on 6210kHz (Earhart's daytime frequency) until four hours later (at 2:18pm); Lae's last reception was at 5:18pm and was a strong signal; Lae received nothing after that; presumably the plane switched to 3105kHz (Earhart's nighttime frequency). [150] Itasca heard Earhart on 3105kHz, but did not hear her on 6210kHz. [172] TIGHAR postulates that the ventral receiving antenna was scraped off while the Electra taxied to the runway at Lae; consequently, the Electra lost its ability to receive HF transmissions. [Note 31] Nearing Howland Island USCGC Itasca was at Howland Island to support the flight. Personalized WHITE Unisex Soft style AMELIA Song Lyrics HOODIE Sweatshirt In Horizontal Design Western Gifts Countless other tributes and memorials have been made in Amelia Earhart's name, including a 2012 tribute by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, speaking at a State Department event celebrating the ties of Earhart and the United States to its Pacific neighbors, noting: "Earhart ... created a legacy that resonates today for anyone, girls and boys, who dreams of the stars." [291] In 2013, Flying magazine ranked Earhart No. 9 on its list of the "51 Heroes of Aviation". [12] The following list is not considered definitive, but serves also to give significant examples of tributes and honors. Johnson did not specify the fuel's octane rating. Chater (1937) says the plane at Lae had 40 gallons of 100 octane with the rest being 87 octane. Lae did not have 100 octane fuel.
