AMELIA EARHART FBI/NAVY/STATE DEPT. FILES
277 pages of Amelia Earhart documents.
56 pages of files copied from FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C., covering Amelia Earhart. Amelia Earhart was an aviatrix who disappeared July 1937 in the Pacific Ocean while on a highly publicized world flight attempt. The FBI never investigated her disappearance. The records generally consist of correspondence from individuals speculating about her fate. Accounts of solicitations of funds from bureau personnel for the Amelia Earhart Foundation. In 1990, the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery submitted a navigator's bookcase to the FBI Laboratory for examination. This item was suspected of having been part of Ms. Earhart's lost aircraft. Various technical analyses were conducted and nothing was found which would disqualify the artifact as having come from the Earhart aircraft.
A 96 pages US Navy report on the search for Amelia Earhart from July 2nd to 18th, 1937.
125 pages of State Department documents covering diplomatic aspects of the search which followed her disappearance. Documents cover an investigation by the Japanese government of allegations that Earhart was imprisoned on Saipan in 1937. |
