Over the past few weeks, This Day in Aviation History has been posting excerpts from Earhart's Journal of her final trip.
She was a very descriptive writer and gave lots of information.
I have been reading and hearing stories about her flight since I was a child, and, like others of my era, have wondered what happened to her.
Well, maybe one day some wreckage will be found.
Maybe Clive Cussler's group needs to look in to it, if they have not done so.

This link to This Day in Aviation History, has the last account of Earhart taking off, never to be seen again.
www.thisdayinaviation.com/2-july-1937/
I've always believed the adage: "Where there is smoke, there is fire".
I wonder how deep one would have to dig in the government vaults to find out if there is some government cover up?
If there is, it has been far too long and needs to be opened up.
Like, why the Navy didn't further investigate Gardner Island, to see who really was there, if anyone?
Not just fly over and say it must have been natives.
Or why the people who heard radio calls were ignored?
If there is something there, again I say IF, who would it embarass if it was made public?
We have to remember that there were a lot of "secret" things going on during the 1930s, particularly after Japan invaded China and Germany started making war-like moves, including bombing many places in Spain.
Moe Berg, who went to Japan on a baseball tour, was actually a spy, taking lots of movies of Japanese military installations, while there to play ball.
Doolittle, Rickenbacker and Lindbergh, all gave reports to the government about military conditions in Germany, after looking at them with their own eyes.
So, who knows how much truth there is to the suppostions that Earhart was a spy.
Do I not trust our government?
Oh, yeah!
