Earhart set several records, being the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, first as a passenger and later, as a solo pilot. [5]Jet Plane Wings, Red Airplane Wings, Red Wings, Blue Airplane Wings, Blue Wings, Wings Dress Up, Wings Costume A common criticism of all versions of the Japanese capture hypothesis is that the Japanese-controlled Marshall Islands were considerably distant from Howland Island. To reach and land there would have required Earhart and Noonan, though low on fuel, to change her northeast course as she neared Howland Island and fly hundreds of miles northwest, a feat "not supported by the basic rules of geography and navigation." [271] [256] Additionally, had the Japanese found a crashed Earhart and Noonan, they would have had substantial motivation to rescue the famous aviators and be hailed as heroes. [256] Myths, legends, and claims

The notation for Amelia Earhart's pilot's license as exhibited in the Smithsonian Institution is: "This is Amelia Earhart's first pilot's license. She was only the 16th woman in the United States to receive a pilot's license from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the governing body of sports aviation."The Rosalind Russell film Flight for Freedom (1943) derived from a treatment, "Stand by to Die", was a fictionalized treatment of Earhart's life. [210] In the Legends of Tomorrow episode " Meat: The Legends", Earhart is revealed to be a lone survivor on an alien planet now possessed by an extraterrestrial. In 1990, the NBC series Unsolved Mysteries broadcast an interview with a Saipanese woman who claimed to have witnessed Earhart and Noonan's execution by Japanese soldiers. No independent confirmation has ever emerged for any of these claims. [261] Various purported photographs of Earhart during her captivity have been identified as either fraudulent or having been taken before her final flight. [262] RDF equipment on Itasca could handle 270kHz to 550kHz ( Chater 1937); Earhart had removed the 500kHz trailing wire antenna from the plane and did not transmit on 500kHz. The plane transmitted on 3105 and 6210kHz. Amelia Earhart's original pilot license is permanently housed at the Museum of Women Pilots in Oklahoma City. [319]

In 1966, CBS correspondent Fred Goerner published a book claiming that Earhart and Noonan were captured and executed when their aircraft crashed on the island of Saipan, part of the Northern Mariana Islands archipelago. [258] [259] [Note 53] [260] [Note 54] Saipan is more than 2,700 miles away from Howland Island, however. Later proponents of the Japanese capture hypothesis have generally suggested the Marshall Islands instead, which while still distant from the intended location (~800 miles), is slightly more possible. [256] Some of these reports of transmissions were later determined to be hoaxes but others were deemed authentic. Bearings taken by Pan American Airways stations suggested signals originating from several locations, including Gardner Island (Nikumaroro), 360 miles (580km) to the SSE. [191] [192] It was noted at the time that if these signals were from Earhart and Noonan, they must have been on land with the aircraft since water would have otherwise shorted out the Electra's electrical system. [193] [Note 38] [194] [Note 39] Sporadic signals were reported for four or five days after the disappearance but none yielded any understandable information. [195] [Note 40] The captain of USS Colorado later said: "There was no doubt many stations were calling the Earhart plane on the plane's frequency, some by voice and others by signals. All of these added to the confusion and doubtfulness of the authenticity of the reports." [196] Contemporaneous search efforts 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. Promoting aviation Studio portrait of Amelia Earhart, c. 1932.
