She has been unfairly characterized as a poor pilot because of the ground loop in Hawaii. It was said that Manning backed out of her second attempt because he did not trust her skills but he himself had made a navigation error with four people on board including Noonan and Earhart. As a former Marine Corps aviator, I am very impressed with what she did and she was very courageous beyond belief. Just flying across New Guinea through clouds is an achievement in and of itself.
Or maybe her career choice was "glory-seeking pop star" (like Paris Hilton and any Kardashian these days), and she just wasn't a good pilot, and made foolish operational choices that resulted in her death.
@@wendigo53 No doubt that many have at least some of that motive but it does not detract from their boldness and courage. Until I read three books about her, I thought that she was just a bad pilot who made bad decisions but I changed my mind. Your mileage may differ and you could be right. She was different, very different from other women of her day and not always in a good way. Nevertheless, there are things that she did that I can respect if not admire.
@@seaknightvirchow8131 What do you mean not in a good way? Please clarify.
What an ABSOLUTELY fascinating documentary! So well done, narrated, and examined. Her family seem like very well-adjusted and kind people too despite this terrible tragedy. This is how a well-made documentary should be made!
This particular video was the best I have ever seen, regarding Amelia Earhart and her achievements in the area of aviation, I never knew she had a younger sister Muriel, and also that she had gotten married to P.G. Putnam, who was a very honorable man, who was willing to look after Amelia's mother and sister as well, after the agonizing heartbreak of losing the love of his life in the Pacific Ocean 💔 😢
Never stops being a fascinating subject. Hopefully one day we will know the full story.
A unique, custom made part was found several years ago, and confirmed as coming from her airplane. But the “mystery” is so provocative that documentary film makers find themselves inclined to lose that part of their scripts.
We already know the full story. But not everyone got the memo. If you want to know the full story go watch the video from RUclips channel titled MR BALLEN.

@@navelaviator18 Correct!
If I remember right they actually found her bones 2 years after her disappearance but decided not to tell anybody publicly. They never found her co- pilot though.
A really good documentary that supports that Amelia was able to fly and navigate in her own rite, contrary to the impression given on the film made about her. However, I wish they had included the voice recordings that she made before her plane disappeared.
I love this narrator. She did the Mitford Sisters episode as well.
Her niece has a remarkable command of the history and impact of Amelia and the events leading to her disappearance.
Very enlightening RUclips post 👍
I first found out about Amelia on a kids show named, "And you were there", narrated by Walter Cronkite. It was haunting but at the same time, intriguing. I was hooked like a miner's gold fever.
I remember that TV show !! It was great.
You may have dated yourself I too remember as a kid being fascinated by the you were there series sort of inculcated a deep interest in history in the mind of a kid that has never subsided actually
I too reading a book about Amelia became intrigued as a child. Anne Frank was another that has haunted me for years.
Aviatrix..... They used such cool language back then.
Thank you for this! An in-depth docu regarding the search effort would be super-appreciated! Thanks again, love from Amsterdam!
Agreed, no where near enough was said in detail about the disappearance ...
Thnx for this great documentary
GREAT documentary!! ✈️
Very well done, thank you.
AE was a rock star.... one of the examples I used to explain to my daughters how they could do anything as they were becoming young adults.
Not every kid can be president or an astronaut.
Realistic goals like electrical engineer or cybersecurity analyst would benefit kids mental health better.
Earhart was a marginal (that's generous she was horrible) pilot. She was a glory hound with no aspirations other than to be as famous as possible. Probably the strangest thing about her is she did not consider dead reckoning navigation to be a REAL THING. She simply was not intelligent enough to recognise that a chart and compass and a clock can be used to pinpoint your exact location. She thought it was superstition like astrology. She used her "intuition" and would NOT listen to her navigator. World famous moron. She almost always got totally lost when flying alone and navigators HATED her. Many flat-out refused to fly with her. Nobody that knew her was surprised when she got lost and died. Most were surprised she survived as long as she did. She was no damned good at flying.
Even get lost and eaten by coconut crabs..
I've first found Amelia in the kids show called go jetters. It is for 4-6 but still educational ( My fav is everyone mostly Xuli) Poor Amelia. I love u Amelia.
I thought everyone knew she was found by the USS Voyager in the Delta quadrant
only if they hated themselves enough to watch Voyager
Awesome episode that was...
i liked it
You’re the best!
It’s not a mystery anymore, her remains were found.
Absolutely amazing! And I swear it’s the only documentary about her that didn’t give me nightmares.
Probably the best documentary I've seen on Amelia Earhart.
If there were castaways on that tiny island, then that seems quite an adventure. I'd want to know who they were, regardless.
Until you battle hordes of coconut crabs
@@violentnomad7267 That happening to the castaways wouldn't make their experience any less an adventure. And I'm not sure one would have to battle as such to find out more about the castaways. Did that even happen to the people who checked the island out later?
@@violentnomad7267 which are good to eat
@@kene6954 the people who checked the island were not crash survivors so no
She was a great pilot and a cool Lady. .🌬️🌹
She was a horrible pilot and nobody liked her.
I don't know about being a great pilot but I do hope they find out about all that happened to her a give her body a proper burial.
She was more manly than womanly…
It would be wonderful if the image spotted on sonar recently did turn out to be her plane. Closure is never bad.
Famous, respected, honorable, smart, brave Amelia. It makes ALOT of sense that small island is where she refuled, or crashd. Back in the 1930s there were not modern inventions. But the pieces of her plane and the co ordinances she last gave, speak loudly and reasonably of the little village there...I think that tells it all.
She should be greatly remembered as a brave pioneer in long distance flight.
She should be honored in the Hall of Fame, and a Nobel Prize so she, her family and the world can be at peace. And then finally let her rest in peace. Also I think she should be finally awarded financially for her kindness, braveness and accomplishments!!
Thankyou Amelia.
A map of some sorts would help especially early in this documentary….
We need more focus on the women pilots in WW2 who sacrificed and got no fame or glory. True heroes.
Very few pilots got any "fame or glory"...I don't think that is what any of them were after.
@@brianmoran1196 Actually lots of pilots have films made for them...so not factual what you wrote. Amelia was just an average flyer with a rich husband who promoted her. She messed up going off unprepared for the task at hand.
The women in WW2 were heroes and deserve the fame. Perhaps you are not familiar with their story. I don't care if you are really if you are not curious about them.
@@robertgiles9124 Something like 20,000 pilots served in WW2, and you think a significant amount of them had films made about them.
@@brianmoran1196 That is EXACTLY what Earhart was after and nothing else!
Please try not to confuse the word Hero for the word Champion.
Thanks!
7:45 wait so Nessie got her?
Amelia's sister lived til almost 100. I don't even know she had a sister but if Amelia had lived, she probably would have had a long life
Great program amilia Earhart a great pilot and fantastic and extremely brave woman rip amilia Earhart rest in peace and God bless you
Awesome ❤
YESSS!! The history of Amelia Earhart
That was a very beautiful story and well told. Kudos to the narrators!!!
I don't like this habit of undermining women who chose a more conventional path in order to enhance women who achieved something exceptional. Obviously, Amelia and Muriel were very different characters despite being sisters and that's a good thing. Btw Muriel was, by no means, just a housewife. Like her sister, she was a college graduate and she worked as a high school teacher for many years besides raising her children, which was not that common , most women didn't work at the time. One has to be appreciative of each life. What i find most remarkable is that after Amelia died she went on to perpetuate her sister's legacy and published several books that are valuable historical pieces. May i add what a relief it, actually, is to see that sisterhood is not always marked with rivalry and hostility as it is all too often depicted ?Amelia and Muriel Earhart were far more interesting and worthy of admiration, in my view, than the mundane socialite Bouvier sisters.
“…and I think, her marriage, in some ways, at that time, was more typical. That women did, more or less, give in. And to some extent they took a servants role. And they served the meal, and did all the child care, and the food preparation and the rest of it. And that was what was expected.”
How generous of her to diminish the familial roles that so many women chose to accept and to become, those of a wife & mother, and the creator & keeper of a loving and healthy home, as somehow atypical and forced. What a lovely heart she must have to describe such women as essentially little more than a concubine. A slave.
Amelia Earhart was & is an icon. Not only of women, but of humankind. A person with wealth of stories and experiences, all of which to be honored. However to have someone giving voice to Amelia’s story, who belittles the life choices of women so freely - and ignorantly - diminishes not only women, but in fact Amelia Earhart as well.
Amelia’s story is one worth listening to. But I’ll have to do that somewhere else.
Are you being sarcastic?
@@PlayNiceFolks Not in the slightest.
Thanks for that Mr misogynistic man🙄
@@jamesrichardson-king9359 …to not appreciate someone denigrating the choices of a rational adult woman?… and daring to speak about it?
Well aren’t you special.
Yes I noticed that right off and it continues thru out the doco. Women who choose to do what women do best are denigrated for their choice of living the 'more normal' life. AE did speak in public on womens' rights but isnt that supposed to be inclusive, meaning it's still ok to marry, raise children, care for and nurture ppl? For me putting women down for doing mundane tasks such as cooking and cleaning is the same as putting down men for going to an office or for planting crops and harvesting them, etc. We all have to be stars, celebrities, cutting-edge inventors or scientists to 'really' contribute to the human race or to matter at all to our controllers. I ignored the mind control elements, it is a good documentary in any case.
Very interesting
Beautiful I Love This Her Niece Was Amazing 👏 😍 ❤
Looks a lot like her, too!
@ 22:30 - Just to be clear, obviously not a video clip of her first autogyro flight in 1930 as she wasn’t “Mrs. George Putnam” until 1931.
I personally go with the Niku theory. TIGHAR's work of 35 years of researching the case are just too compelling. Its not conclusive but its the best supported theory by a long way
I think the Niko theory makes the most sense. Considering she was broadcasting at least three days after she went down. The photo of the plane landing gear near the SS Norwich City...the evidence is there!
There has been so many theories as to what happened to her. There was a documentary that said she was working for the US Government and she was captured by the Japanese
Documentaries are today's version of Grimm's Fairy Tales
Her remains have already been found. Watch the video from the channel titled MR BALLEN.
@@airsrock2.053 That person shows no sources stating that the remains on the island are hers, just that it could have been hers.
Speculation is that she was unofficially doing reconnaissance at President Roosevelt's request. She carried sophisticated cameras....The theory that she and copilot, Fred Noonan, died in Saipan as POWs of the Japanese is supported by testimonials of American GIs. One told of recovering her passport in a safe he busted open. Soon after Americans took the island from the Japanese, her Electra was spotted -- confirmed by the serial number, NR16020 -- in a heavily guarded hangar. Soon after, it was destroyed, upon command from Washington. Local Saipanese spoke about Fred Noonan being in the local jail/prison, while Earhart was detained in a local hotel. One Saipan hotel maid noted her leather flight jack and described her "kind eyes."
@@theelizabethan1 That sounds very convincing, as do several other theories, each having a list of supporting facts from “official” sources, and most having had a Netflix, Learning Channel or History Channel “documentary” made about it. They can’t all be true, but I personally believe two of them are undeniable fact.
I asked 20 kids 8-12 and None of them ever heard of her! sad this generation knows more about k-pop than their USA history..
the ELECTRA was Awesome 👌
Beautiful Plane . the Angle of
Declination is not mentioned ????
I hope they make a movie out of her own story, everytime I look at Amelia it reminds me of the actress Hilary Swank.
Yes, they did make a movie it came out in 2009.
Bro you know damn well they not only made a movie about her, but her character was played by Hillary Swank.
Amazing woman 👩 ✈️
I will ALWAYS believe that she simply ran out of fuel, crashed, and died on impact.
The plane probably just completely came apart when it hit the water. Hitting water at that height and speed is like landing on concrete.
People cannot accept that even their hero might just die in a "normal way".
Bad planning, poor execution, simple.
@@FRITZI999 There's a newer documentary on it that suggest otherwise. But she still died in a normal way right?
@@annnee6818 well, so many people die day to day in accidents... a friend of mine just lately, riding his bike. No one makes a Documentary about him, cause he's not a Celebrity....
Emilia just died in the crash of her plane or shortly afterwards. Simple fact.
Recently a plane was found in the Pacific Ocean that could belong to her and it's intact which shows the control she had of the plane. I hope it's her plane.
The mystery surrounding this woman's dissappearance has always fascinated me. She was certainly a Pioneer in aviation history and thats great. However I think she is often used by the feminist movement as a middle finger to classical female roles in society. future generations will be very critical of the current trend to minimize the crucial role motherhood, the classic family structure and the rising of children. This attitude will change when the absolutely destructive effects on society have been fully realized.
Hey, its Dan Snow !
Lets try and find the Malaysian airliner with all the passengers that died in the Indian Ocean.
There was a fire aboard the swissair flight ✈ 111
Was watching this last night and today they have news that they might have finally found the plane January 30, 2024
She always remind me the story of "The Little Prince "... I like to think that at the end she found also a little planet with a little 🤴 Prince on it..
"The Little Prince"
...written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
...who was slso an aviator
...whose plane had also disappeared.
🛩
Any adventurer will be successful for a short time then something happens. Notice that. It's happens all the time with the rock climbers.
A very enjoyable documentary. This is what a Amelia Earhart documentary should appear as. Well done, thank you everyone involved. In particular I enjoyed seeing the Peter Pan Radio.
I liked the part about Amelia
The Wright Brothers were incorrectly quoted here at 47 seconds as the first to secure controlled flight in 1903.
Pure conjecture.
And controlled is another point of contention.
The one thing they did right was film it.
But there are other examples that may have preceded this event.
It's very difficult to report on the case of Abbas Ibn Firnas more than a 1000yrs prior to Orville Wright.
But the one that piques my interest is that of then reluctant New Zealander Richard Pearse who unfortunately wasn't privy to filming equipment.
I am a New Zealander. For years I thought Richard Pearse flew before the Wright brothers. But the bad news is ... He didn't. He did not attempt powered flight until 1906. We know this because he said so in an interview with a newspaper in 1909. He also wrote two letters to local newspapers around the end of WW-1 pointing out that the Wright brothers were first.
Hey there Shane.
This is always going to be a contentious issue with a patriotic New Zealander.
Turns out he (Richard Pearse) claimed in a 1909 interview that he didn't try it until 1904.
But numerous eyewitnesses suggest he was seen up to 9 months prior to the Wright Brothers.
Problem was Richard was a reluctant hero.
He then states he entered a 1904 St. Louis contest with a prize money of £20,000 to be the 1st to achieve powered flight.
He claims nobody won it.
In fact he goes on to destroy any possibility of it being him.
He just didn't want the accolade... nearly as much as the average proud Kiwi 🥝.
@@brettyoung6356 Hi Brett. Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I should have checked Wikipedia instead of relying on my scratchy memory. Like I said, for years it was gospel to me the Pearse flew before the Wright brothers. I used to have a monograph that I bought at MOTAT around 1985 about Pearse. I regret selling it. You are right, Pearse was his own worst biographer.
This is not a conspiracy theory channel for crazies.
Amelia Earhart left a long lasting legacy
I'm exited about the possibility of her plane being found. If in fact this is her plane, it goes to show the control she had landing the plane because it looks like it's intact. Fingers crossed
I think the Japanese capture theory is highly unlikely because the Itasca received a strong radio signal from Amelia that morning so she had to be nearby. Just don't know why the Navy flyby a week later did not see the plane on Gardner Island. I would like to think she made it to the island.but nothing conclusive so far.
Question: there are two 157-337 LOP, compass heading and true heading, which one was she referring to? Who linked 157-337 LOP to the suns position and when? There are also two 67 degree headings compass and true and they are both north of Howland Island! A 67 degree true heading (sunrise) is 11 degrees north of Howland and a 67 degree compass heading (76.54 degree true heading) is approximately 1.5 degrees north of Howland Island, why didn't they look for a link to the 67 degree compass? Which 67 is the 157-337 LOP based on?
The distance from Lae to Howland is 2556 miles or 2221 nautical miles, 9.49 degree east magnetic declination near Howland.
FORMULA: x=sin(inverse)(517÷distance)
2556 = 78 degree true heading, 78-9.49 = 68.5 degree compass heading.
2221 = 76.54 degree true heading, 76.54-9.49 = 67.05 degree compass heading!!
It's possible that they where given the wrong directions (true heading) based on a simple math error!
T Wright, so where would she have crashed by your calculations.
@@code-52 first I am just adding some information that might have been over looked. I believe the more information people have the better choices they can make. My number 1 location would be north of Howland between 30 - 80 miles close to true north. The reason is 2556 miles on a 76.54 degree true course would put them around 80 miles north and about 18 miles west of true north. 157-337 compass crosses true north about 10 miles I think just north of Howland. This doesn't factor in wind ect. Now the problem, "ship in sight" a radio operator (naru Island halfway and north of intended flight path) said he heard woman's voice say ship in sight over the radio, approximately the same time a deck hand on the murtleback said he heard a plane fly over. The murtleback was about 50 miles northeast of the Ontario which was about halfway and watching out for Amelia. If this information is true and Amelia thought it was the Ontario, did they make any adjustments? Maybe a second location would be adding the distance between the Ontario and the murtleback to the final location. Personally I think they wouldn't have made any changes because they couldn't guarantee that the Ontario was exactly at the halfway point.
Bottom line is I am not using charts and it's just all math. I would rather have a professional look at the information and do what they do best. I think the plane is north of Howland.
@@code-52 one more thing, Noonan new Howland was 49 minutes (49 nautical miles) or 57 miles (latitude) north of the equator. Now if he used celestial navigation which means he could see the sun and celestial navigation would give him his latitude and he realized that they were off, were they on 157-337 heading to Howland latitude? Or was it too cloudy and he couldn't calculate his latitude using celestial navigation and was guessing they were on the correct course and that they were close to Howland. So they were on 157-337 zigzag looking for Howland or baker Island?
Too many factors with multiple outcomes.
@@code-52 people forget that Clarence Williams provided the map strips. There is one in the archives Honolulu to Oakland flight.
@@twright4263 This is way over my pay grade in aviation and math.
I hope one day they found out where they ended .
Wow
Amazing over 100yrs later women are still getting lost
Amelia Earhart...beautiful lady, sad ending .
Marrige is not a condition of servitude it is acommitment for both genders.
Would this channel be planning a video on Bessie Coleman? Would make for an interesting video.
She’s at the bottom of the Pacific. It’s no great mystery…
Exactly
Well th plane might be
She and Fred died on Gardners island where they managed to land and even send out a few more radio messages for help
Funny how Mitsubishi magically made rolls royce engines after earhardt disappeared. 🤔
What is your point and which Mitsubishi engine was a RR clone?
@@TheEvilmooseofdoom idk the Zero maybe? But that didn’t really come into service until 1940
doesn’t add up that she crashed but waited a few days to make distress calls why wouldn’t she say she was crash landing? why not radio for help right after the crash?
the radio guy said her single was so strong she had to be close. at that altitude if she was close she would have seen them.
I knew a Woman called Sheila Scott in the 70's who was similar to Amelia. She made many world record flights in her Piper 'Commanche' ?...My Tooth....she disapoeared in to oblivion and rumoured she died in poverty in a London Bed-Sit. RIP.
Lying unconscious in the sand of a deserted island,after crashing her plane , Amelia was eaten alive by those large black coconut tree crabs.
There was a Loran station was set up during the war by the US Coast Guard. I sure some of members of station over 2 years would checked out the atoll. Just a opinion from a former AME.
Not sure you are familiar with just how bad Loran-C was, let alone -A and -B. And they really only started being used by military (not civilians, which was what A. E. was) until well after the war. Civvies, including most Coast Guards considered Loran-C "state of the art" in 1970.... Cheers.
Thanks for the information.Frank
Thanks Frank. Present Amelia here... Lockheed Electra 10-E C/N 1055 was found in East New Britain , 1943, by Australian Foot soldiers. The twin engines and construction number match the same as the one that disappeared. She had 4,000 miles of fuel to travel, and plenty to make it back. Her radio communication ceased at the date line.
See airport data website.
@@EARXHEART Thanks I will check it out.
When the documentary states Lindbergh was the first solo flight across the Atlantic its time to switch off.
iT WAS THE PEACE BROTHERS WHO WERE THE FIRST TO FLY AN AIRPLANE OFF THE GROUND FROM NEW ZEALAND ?????
❤
They found her in an episode of Star Trek Voyager called The 37’s
There's been so many conspiracies about AE and her disappearance. You don't even know who or what to believe anymore.
All of the three major theories have some tantalizing circumstantial evidence. But each one also has some major holes in them. Short of finding remains or bits of the plane, or written documentation that says what happened, we'll likely never know for sure...
A marriage of convenience.
History in the making as I said before there is only one Amelia Earhart
Why not investigate these reports now. We have the technology and the means to try to put this to rest.
They have up until just a few years ago. Found no evidence
She crashed near an island, was severely injured and later was eaten alive by coconut crabs
Crashed I can see but coconut 🦀 🦀 🦀 I don't see
@@brettanymichellelawson-top5197 the island she crashed on is home to hundreds of giant coconut crabs. She was injured and exhausted. She was eaten alive a night or two after landfall.
Rather strange for a person who knew what she was doing,

a brandnew 'Lightning'

I'm related to Amelia Earhart I'm distant cousins with her
I am related to her
They were both lost because they didn’t know Morse Code CW it was tragedy both didn’t know Morse Code.

see after all now you
know we must follow
She kill by Japanese Army.
Ah yes, my namesake ❤️
Marriage is not for ambitious ppl. Marriage is indeed a trap and must not be tried as often
Yeah..why did they say women could do these things but at the expense of family life?
I'm sure some people like bringing up children but it's nots that big a deal for many.
Ask the broken divorced husband living in a studio apt.driving an old used car paying child support and medical for 5- 12 yrs. how wonderful marriage worked out.
That was a very dangerous flight for 1937.
Yup
She was a fool to think she could find Howland Island.
from the 3g verse of
pain to a 5d verse of
gain eventually ...
thanks for the like yes .
i am convinced they're
the forerunners nd did it .
So why didn't the ship fire flares to show the plane where they were?
The Itasca should have been launching signal rockets to guide Amelia's plane to Howland Island.
The plane is out there somewhere under water.......
Amelia Earhart was actually Tokyo Rose.
One of them , there was about 10.
The other enduring mystery is how did the spelling of her surname change? She used to be Amelia Earhardt with a "D". Still 92,000 references to that if you Google search that spelling. Mandela.
Too bad they didn't cross from Russia to Alaska, cold but much harder to get lost.
When you get to the 30.40 time stamp, look at the image of a face in the clouds!
It looks like a cat's face to me.
@@usveteran9893 but an eerie visual nonetheless!
It’s amazing what our imagination can conjure up.
Why didnt they use a plane that could land on water ? That woulda gave them. Chance to be discovered maybe
I like the documentary except for when it goes off on a tangent supporting the feminist narrative. She was a great pilot and adventurer with skill and courage - period.
Why yes, having a period didn't stop her from being a great pilot and adventurer. That is the female narrative.
Why didn't you complain when they mentioned 2nd world war? Or that doesn't affect your manhood?
@@muurisoras5878 - I am good hunny thx
Well I support equality
That directly speaks to why she was a great pilot. She felt driven because of oppression faced by women.
By the way it's called Derry not Londonderry
The reason I don’t watch timeline videos - too many godamn ads !!!!
