Yeah for sure I’ll look that up. I often drive 2-3 hours at a time and always look for interesting things to listen to on the ride. Thanks!

They are really great. It's called "Overheard" because it's often talking to people who work for nat geo in some capacity, often adventure/nature/war photographers and writers. Super interesting to hear their stories about their job rather than just the stories they write.

Off topic but have you ever heard of the cave found in Vietnam that’s miles long underground and is believed to be the biggest cave on earth? Nat geo apparently mapped it digitally and you can virtually tour it since the government there only lets 1000 or so people go in thr cave per year. Apparently it has its own ecosystem and weather.

I only recently found out that she was travelling with a navigator, Fred Noonan. I'd always thought she was flying solo.

I understand that, I think she was the head pilot and more famous aviator. I hope someday we can find their plane

She had made several solo trips prior to this, which may be the reason you're mixing things up. When she went on the trip around the world she needed a navigator as there's a lot more to figure out with the larger amount of territory to cover.

I'm no palmist, but her life line seems short.

Did anything come of that photo allegedly showing Amelia next to Japanese military officials?

I'm pretty sure that photo was proven to be taken years before she disappeared.

It's not her, apparently.

Within 1 week of those photos emerging back in 2017, they were disproven

There are reports, credible or not IDK, of various short wave radio operators around the world hearing a last emergency broadcast from the pair.

Can’t remember where I saw an article, but Google can probably find it.

She got eaten by crabs in the pacific. Look it up. Lots of articles.

It's wild to me that this huge mystery was solved in like 1940.

They found her bones on an island with some stuff from a plane and her shoe iirc.

This is not true, the bones were determined to be from a man and the wreckage matched a crash from ww2
