Amelia Earhart
Are you interested in the fate of Amelia Earhart? We certainly are. The story you so often hear is brought to you
by people who want you to believe it. There's another side to the story, with an extreme amount of evidence, and we
have found Mike Campbell's book, Amelia
Earhart: The Truth at Last: Second Edition, and blog to be an amazing resource.
Please have a look at both, and see what you end up believing. It involves many witnesses, Admiral Nimitz, Secretary
Forrestal, and others of note. The witnesses, from Pacific island natives to U.S. military veterans of WWII, and articles, all lead
to different direction than the story you've been told. John Chapman's grandfather
was involved in her search, and John is a distant relative of Earhart, so this story has been of great value to him for years. |
