Jeb and Blake fail to find Amelia Earhart. So they've got that in common with the folks profiled in this week's episode.
Discussed in this Episode:
Amelia Earhart, pioneering woman pilot
Husband and publisher George Putnam
Navigator Fred Noonan
AutoGyros/GyroCopters and how they are different from helicopters.
Propaganda film Flight for Freedom (DVD) which fictionalizes the story of Earhart as spy.
The Searchers:
Joseph Gervais, the obsessive guy who believed an innocent New Jersey housewife was secretly Amelia. I'm not linking to his stupid book or to the woman he stalked and harassed, though she did pass in 1982. Even when she died, he tried to get to see the body. No. No, no, no, no.
Elgen Long - aviator and author of Amelia Earhart: The Mystery Solved
