Amelia Earhart Survival Claim Disputed As Questions About Photo Arise | TODAY
At least Earhart and Noonan will never be forgotten.
So its from a book published in 1935? Cool, that dock wasn't built till 1936 so... That camera clearly takes pictures of the future, how awesome is that?
maybe the guy in the photo was DB Cooper
The dock wasn't built until 1936 so the picture couldn't have been taken in 1935. The Japanese and Americans covered up the story so finding a book back dated by the Japanese to 1935 proves nothing. How can the picture be anything else but Earhart, Noonan, and the Electra? Even the ship has been identified as the Koshu.
Both Japanese and US covered up the facts. Records were either destroyed intentionally or were destroyed in the war. Marshall islands issued a stamp about this in 1987 and they named the Koshu as the ship and then BOOM, there is the Koshu in the picture with Amelia, Fred, and The Electra.

Thanks for link. There is the dock, power lines, and another big ship to the left - maybe we can date the photo from these items but the records probably destroyed in the war or covered up. We will probably never know for sure. I'm still going with the dock wasn't built until 1936 unless someone can convince me otherwise.
My grandpa Don Kothera found here and brought her back and the GOV stole her body
What's so hard to believe. small plane big ocean. if we can't find a 777 today what makes them think we could find a Lockheed Electra in 37
INCORRECT !!!! Was not in a printed book dated 1935 ! Get your facts right !!!
It was a home made photo album that also contained loose photos. That photo was placed in the album. Photo was UNDATED !!!!
The photo is neither "newly discovered" nor an authentic view of EA & FN.
Robert Lichtenberger: The people in the photo could be anybody.....the person sitting could be a man (look at the shoulder width) and the "Noonan" hairstyle was common at that time. An old blurry photo proves nothing.
A WW2 Bomber pilot was operating on the West Coast of Papua New Guinea. In the area, he was based he discovered a wreck of a Lockheed 12A
in dense bush. It had been there for a long time. The pilot removed an engine ID plate and on returning to Australia discovered it was a perfect match to one of Earhart's engines. The pilot is still alive today and has launched 2 expeditions and a third following to find the wreck. It is right on the west coast of PNG. It means if it is Earhart's aircraft. They turned around and flew the trackback to Borneo.
In 1987, the Republic of Marshall Islands issued a set of commemorative stamps/envelope covers in honor of Marshallese 50th anniversary of Amelia’s WITNESSED landing on Mili Atoll. Aviation pioneer Amelia M. Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan were apprehended during their equatorial around-the-world flight in July 1937 on Barre Island, Mili Atoll, Marshall Islands, by Imperial Japan for military asset surveillance. Interned as prisoners to Japanese regional Jaluit Atoll headquarters, eventually to Saipan’s westside Garapan prison, they endured brutal agony, ultimately expiring on Saipan, never returning home again. While Earhart’s last flight from Lae, Papua New Guinea to Howland Island was only 2500 miles, the donor-funded, customized Lockheed Electra 10-E (“flying laboratory”, as Amelia coined it, having auxiliary tanks fueled with 1151 gallons) had an extended range of 4300 miles. Lockheed engineer (Robert T. Elliot) interviewed declared modifying Electra’s fuselage, allowing installation of two (Fairchild) reconnaissance cameras. Lockheed technician (Rollo Christy) stated in 1982 interview sophisticated camera equipment had been installed on plane. Navy microfilm clerk (Caroll F. Harris) assigned to Earhart’s files, recalled complete photographic details of surveillance camera installation/operation to the Electra’s hull. ONI discovered Earhart’s captivity through code breaking of Japanese radio intercepts, and a 1937 Jaluit Atoll intelligence photo. [Marshall Islands’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs in July 2017 acknowledged 1937 ONI photo of Jaluit Island dock (exhibiting valid evidence of Earhart, Noonan and Electra) was built by Japanese forces in 1936]. The U.S., unprepared for an objectionable war with Japan in 1937, did not enter the Japanese-mandated Marshall Islands. ONI, Adm. Nimitz, USMC Gens. Erskine, Vandegrift, and Watson, the 2nd Marine Division 1944 Saipan invasion commander, substantiated Earhart and Noonan perished on Saipan for aerial reconnaissance through intelligence interview (i.e., Saipan’s Chamorro guards employed by the Kenpeitai-Japan’s military police and civilians) factual evidence, without fanfare, without ulterior motives. Admiral Nimitz’s 1965 sincere words to San Francisco’s KCBS investigator, and Amelia Earhart researcher Fred A. Goerner, “Now that you’re going to Washington, Fred, I want to tell you Earhart and her navigator went down in the Marshalls and were picked up by Japanese.” Hundreds of native witnesses from Mili, Jaluit (Bilimon Amaron: Noonan’s injury medic), Kwajalein Atolls, and Saipan (Josephine B. Akiyama: Earhart eyewitness) placed her in Micronesia, west of Howland Island. Scores of US military witnesses (Thomas Devine) witnessed Amelia’s NR16020 Electra on Saipan’s Aslito Airfield’s hanger. Devine attested to initials “FN” and “AE” carved on Amelia’s Garapan prison cell wall, as well as plate on cell door, reading “July 29, 1937.” (Julious E. Nabers) viewed plane destroyed on Aslito, hiding evidence. (Robert Wallack) discovered Earhart’s briefcase and personal effects in blown safe on Saipan. In 1964, Everett Henson Jr. (Sacramento,Ca.), and Bill G. Burks (Dallas,Tx.), came forward as 2 former U.S. Marines who recovered skeletal fragments of Earhart and Noonan in unmarked graves [identifying Capt. Tracy Griswold (Erie, Pa.) as supervisor] near a small graveyard on Saipan in July of 1944, depositing remains in metal canisters for transport back home. Saipanese witnesses claim Earhart succumbed from dysentery, while Noonan perished via execution. The Japan Times reported Mrs. Michiko Sugita’s Nov. 13, 1970 declaration, as the 11 year-old daughter of civilian Saipanese chief of police in 1937, asserting Amelia Earhart expired on Saipan during WWII. US govt. built an airstrip (Howland Is.), docked a Coast Guard ship (Itasca) guiding Amelia, created worldwide flight plan logistics, assigned a 17-day Navy Task Force search, for a clandestine mission using celebrity status as cover. Follow former US military’s, Saipanese and Marshallese firsthand corroborated evidence, not NSA/CIA funded spin influencing narratives. Remembering perilous war era turmoil, undercover operatives from 1937 were an expendable past, as the govt.’s nexus was vanquishing Imperial Japan. Lastly as victors of war and subsequently writers of history, the U.S. chose American egocentrism, erasing exposed and tragic Earhart evidence/witnessing forthwith. Amelia’s Earhart’s 1937-1944 last days captive are classified and censored by Washington for propaganda, U.S. prewar secrecy, FDR’s WWII political reputation, and American-Japanese post-war diplomacy.
If you look in that small sailboat on our right as we look at the photo I think we can see Bigfoot sitting in the center of the boat playing cards. My point? That's not Bigfoot and that's not Amelia or Fred.
Ok.. Everyone dressed In civilian clothes, they appear to be just socializing or doing their own thing. If they were captured, there would be military people there with guns pointed at Amelia and Fred. If this is after they went missing, I don't think at this point they were captured. Maybe rescued. The Japanese were also searching for the plane. I just don't know from this photo.
NOT them in the photo ! SO SO WRONG ! Not in a printed book. Was an undated handmade photo album. The photo was thrown in loosely amongst other loose photos.
Take a look at her final flight video, leaving Lae never to be seen again.... SHE WAS NOT WEARING A WHITE SHIRT !!!!!
Noonan was severely injured, man in photo not injured, wrong hairline !
Her plane is in full view in a 1941 aerial photo showing Norwich City wreck. Look at the plane right beside the shipwreck in full view, RIGHT SIDE of shipwreck. Gillespie is searching Left side , all wrong !!!!
Whoops, one conspiracy down the tube.
You are the reason the news is made brother. For weak minds like yourself.
WAPTEK only weak minds are believing this "new evidence"
That's not 1935 日本語 in the caption.
The site says it is from Showa 10, the 10th year of the Showa emperor, also known as 1935.
