75 years ago to Ms. Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan survived – for a while, at least – as castaways on a remote island, catching rainwater and eating fish, shellfish, and turtles. Courtisy of "The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery" (TIGHAR) Earhart and Noonan, low on fuel and unable to find their scheduled stopping point – Howland Island – radioed their position, and landed on a reef at uninhabited Gardner Island, a small coral atoll now known as Nikumaroro Island. Using the fuel that remained to run engines to recharge the batteries, they continued to radio distress signals for several days until the Lockheed Electra aircraft washed away by the surf. Using equipment not available in 1937, TIGHAR concluded that 57 of the 120 signals reported at the time are credible, triangulating Earhart's position to have been Nikumaroro Island. "Amelia Earhart did not simply vanish on July 2, 1937," Richard Gillespie, executive director of TIGHAR. "When the search failed, all of the reported post-loss radio signals were categorically dismissed as bogus and have been largely ignored ever since," Mr. Gillespie said. But results of the study, he said, "suggest that the aircraft was on land and on its wheels for several days following the disappearance." Unbelievable!!!!
