Wow...

 

[CYCLNST8]

Wouldn't Imperial Japan have liked to use those two as potential bargaining chips? It's hard for me to believe they just let them rot in a prison anonymously.

 

[State43]

Japan for the longest time was very isolated. It's possible they didn't realize the value they had.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Wow...that would be huge news if true.

 

[CYCLNST8]

Japan for the longest time was very isolated. It's possible they didn't realize the value they had.

Making it virtually impossible to confirm anything.

Yet in the movie "Unbroken," Japan knows who their high profile prisoners are.

In 1937?

And Hitler lived out his latter days in Argentina.

I'm not saying it's true or untrue but they most definitely let prisoners waste away in deplorable conditions.

My uncle did.

Oh, yes- no disagreement here. Sorry for your uncle.

Amelia was high profile though. She had to be one of a handful of women in the world emerging from a cockpit sporting pants and a headset. If you're in her shoes wouldn't you be saying: "I'm kind of a big deal. America will come for me."

 

[JP4CY]

Fascinating. I may look into watching that. Thanks.

"....Japanese authorities told NBC News they have no record of Earhart being in their custody...."

"....Japanese authorities told NBC News they have no record of Earhart being in their custody...."

At that point in time, w/ the Japanese "empire" reaching far into a multitude of Pacific Islands their "record keeping" was not the best. Not only did they not have a record of Earhart they also had no record of the inhabitants of their own islands including their own service personnel.

I think this depends on how she was captured. Was she kept on one of these islands for the remainder of her days and never made it back to the Japanese mainland? Did she try to escape and was killed during her escape? Did she use a fake name to hide her identity so she could hopefully seem like a normal citizen and be let go easily?

Earhart and Noonan crashed in Hawaii on an earlier attempt to fly around the world. Can it be proved this isn't a picture from that trip?

 

[CYCLNST8]

I think this depends on how she was captured.

Probably with a GIANT AIRPLANE. You think that'd be something that would raise some eyebrows with the Japanese brass.

I'm wondering if she was extremely remote and no one spoke a lick of English.

Reading the article, I would say, yeah, it is definitely not from Hawaii, given that the Japanese ship Koshu was identified.

 

[runbikeswim]

of course, this "new" evidence, ties in real well with the conspiracy theorists out there, that have actual marine testimony, that they burned and destroyed her plane on Saipan and buried in near the runway on orders from the Navy Department.

 

[CyCloned]

not a great picture. I don't see how you can determine who is in it or what is being towed. Still, I love this kind of stuff, and will plan on watching the show on Sunday.

This is what I was thinking at first, then I remembered that recent 2 part DB Cooper new evidence show, so I'll probably pass unless I hear good things.
