I was unaware of a new movie about Ameilia Earhart. She was way ahead of her time. She will live infinitely.
Beautiful plane.
Very well done! Thank you.
Outstanding my friends!
Keep em' flying!
Oh, to slip the surly bonds of Earth.🇺🇸
Nice. But why didn't they mention the creator of the Vega, John K. Northrop?
the movie Amelia came out when I was 5 and I always wanted to see it since I heard about it which was like 5 months ago
Christopher - the airplane is housed at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
Look at my Amelia story; facebook.com/GreenMeanie-Productions-104837495098127
Excellent short film, must see the new movie, AMELIA, starring Hilary Swank.
@vinylloung the electra is a twin engine the vega is a single engine
I would love to see the Lockheed Vega. I know who Amelia Earhart was, where is the airplane?
Wow
I love She
Not one single full profile shot of the plane in the whole video... Seriously...
The non engine nacelled Vega was even more striking.
Form and function meld of mechanized art.
Please see video

ADMIRAL Nimitz’s immortal words to KCBS (San Fran.) investigative reporter, and Amelia Earhart researcher Fred A. Goerner, “Now that you’re going to Washington, Fred, I want to tell you Earhart and her navigator did go down in the Marshalls and were picked up by the Japanese.”A Lockheed engineer (interviewed by Randall Brink), claimed to have installed 2 cameras on her plane for intelligence gathering. The US govt. built an airstrip on Howland Island, docked a Coast Guard ship to guide Amelia, assigned a Navy Task Group to search for AE for 2 weeks, FOR her clandestine surveillance, NOT for her daredevil exploration. ONI discovered Earhart’s captivity through Japanese radio intercepts and a Jaluit Atoll photo. ONI, Adm. Nimitz, USMC Gens. Erskine, Vandegrift (USMC Commandant), and Watson, commander of the the 2nd Marine Division that invaded Saipan in 1944, substantiated Amelia perished on Saipan for espionage through interviews conducted by military intelligence services. Hundreds of witnesses from Mili, Jaluit, Kwajalein Atolls & 200+ witnesses in Saipan, placed her in Micronesia. 50+ US military witnesses, saw Amelia’s Lockheed Electra (ordered destroyed) & her briefcase on Saipan. In 1964 former U.S. Marines, Everett Henson, Jr. of Sacramento, and Bill G. Burks of Dallas, came forward to say they were the two Marines (Capt. Tracy Griswold supervising), who recovered the remains of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan in an unmarked grave outside a small graveyard on Saipan in July of 1944, and placed in metal canisters for transport to the U.S. This 1937-1944 govt. restricted story is classified, suppressed, and on a need-to-know basis only, due to political (FDR legacy) and wartime sensitivities.
Hell,o just curious what source did you get this from?
