Visions of bright future

Amelia Earhart (Picture 1) Kimmo Huosionmaa There have been big headlines of the case of Amelia Earhart in today's news. It's very sure, that if this woman known as Amelia Earhart survived the crash landing, would she send the emergency calls, but the question is, why those emergency signals were not taken seriously? If civilians heard those signals, what this woman send from the lone island, why they didn't contact the authorities or went there to look, what was the trouble? And if those messages would report to authorities, why they would not go to check, what was going on? The radio tracking equipment could locate the place, where emergency calls came, and then there would send an airplane or a ship. But why those emergency signals caused the reactions with anybody? Those emergency calls would give by frequency, what is reserved only for emergency calls. And there would be more than one transmitter in the plane. The experienced pilot or any other adventurist...

Amelia Earhart with her Lockheed E.10 (Picture 1) Kimmo Huosionmaa One of the most well known lost pilot Amelia Earhart’s (1897-1937)  bones had been found in 1940’s at some island in Pacific area. The question of this case has been actually, why Earhart was lost on why her airplane was dropped or why this woman made an emergency landing in 1937 when she tried to do the first around the world flight, what was made by the woman. This case has been kept open because the historians wanted to know, what dropped this 39 years old woman from the sky? There was nobody, who even thought that Earhart could be alive in 1937. But the thing what made this story so remarkable was, that Earhart or her map reader Noonan didn’t send any emergency call in that night.  Did the misunderstanding with the markings of this aircraft models XC-36 and E.10 cause the accident? Amelia Earhart (1897-1937) The airplane what Earhart used in that adventure was quite new. It was Lockhe...

Amelia Earhart seisomassa (1892-1937)  Lockheed Electra E.10 nokan alla  ennen katoamistaan Amelia Earhartin (1892-1937) katoaminen vuonna 1937 on jostain syystä edelleen yksi maailman omituisimmista katoamistapauksista. Hänen ruumistaan etsitään yhä erittäin aktiivisesti, vaikka tuo nainen julistettiin kuolleeksi 5.1.1939, mikä on tietenkin joidenkin mielestä vähän liian nopeasti tehty oikeustoimi, koska tuolla Tyynellämerellä on paljon saaria, ja niiden tutkimiseen menee vielä moderneilla välineillä ja  menetelmillä hyvin kauan aikaa. Kyseinen oikeustoimi kuitenkin sai aikaan sen, että Earhartin mies kustantaja George P. Putnam (1887-1950) pääsi hänen omaisuutensa herraksi, ja joidenkin mielestä tuo Putnam minkä kanssa Earhart oli ollut naimisissa vuodesta 1931 olisi saattanut murhata Earhartin, mutta mitään todisteita tuosta väitteestä ei ole. Kuitenkin tuo herra Putnam meni uusiin naimisiin 21.5.1939, mikä kertoo sitten hänen suhteestaan Earhartiin. E...
