"Can modern science tell us what happened to Amelia Earhart? A team of renowned scientists - members of TIGHAR's (The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery) Amelia Earhart Project - has spent fifteen years searching for Amelia using everything from archival research and archaeological survey to side-scan sonar and the analysis of radio wave propagation. In this spellbinding book, these scholars offer tantalizing evidence that the First Lady of the Air and her copilot, Fred Noonan, landed on a remote Pacific island but perished before they could be rescued."--Jacket.
