Just spotted this on the Guardian’s website:

The Guardian was using the article as one of several to highlight their new digital archive – so they must still recognise Earhart’s importance.

Being the original article it is a fascinating insight into how Earhart was viewed at that time. I was particularly touched by the paper warning her of the dangers of trans-oceanic flight. But it was only a few years later that the first transatlantic airlines were starting.

I wonder if TIGHAR will ever get proof of what happened to her?
