Interesting historical treatment with first person accounts, about the theory that Amelia Earhart landed on Saipan in the Marianas and she and Ed Noonan were killed by the Japanese as a spy there in 1937 - and that the plane was later destroyed by the US Military during WWII (not to intentionally hide anything, just for expediency in cleaning up airstrips needed for the war effort). Illustrated with photos and maps. Documents the location of the alleged graves of her and Ed Noonan. Begs the question: How come no one noticed the world's-most-sought plane sitting at the end of a runway from 1937 to WWII?
