The Last Flight Of Amelia Earhart

in #story6 years ago

Pay attention that today I am going to talk about one of the greatest mysteries in history.

"The last flight of Amelia Earhart".

Amelia Earhart became a pilot at a time when the vast majority of women only had the option of being housewives.

Amelia started to break and match the marks of other riders but she became famous on June 17 and 18 Of 1228, when she was on a plane commanded by ...
image.jpg

By the pilots Schultz and Gordon, she was the first woman to cross the Atlantic as a passenger, and in 1932 she made the same flight on her own.

Since Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic alone in 1927, no one had been able to do it again.
Amelia even did it in less time.

Then in late 1935 he again broke another brand flying in record time (just over 14 hours) from New York to Mexico City.

Amelia was uncomfortable to men for their deeds and at the same time was admired and followed by women

In 1937 he announced his greatest feat ...

In a trip of several stages commanding by her, it would give him the return to the world following the line of the equator and not the one of the North pole.

Amelia had already earned the respect and admiration of men and women. Frederick J. Noonan would be at his command as his co-pilot.

The Boston Globe named her as one of the best pilots in the world and so she set out to travel the world.
The first stop would be Puerto Rico.

Amelia flew, under all kinds of conditions, storms, bad weather, good weather, even near Australia she got dysentery.

It was already the penultimate stage of the trip, his plane would be monitored by the ship of the US Navy. so he left the parachutes on the ground.

At some point, the communication between her plane and the ship that would monitor her in the penultimate and last stage before arriving home failed.

Amelia was close to finishing the trip and had lost all traces of her, only static was heard, suddenly the static ceased and ...
image.jpg

Amelia's voice was heard loud and clear: "we must be on you, we do not see you, the fuel is running out" ... and that was it.

There was no communication with her again and they started looking for her plane, experts said the plane was floating in the sea.
image.jpg

Even US President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized sending 9 ships and 66 aircraft. But all efforts were useless.
image.jpg
On July 18, the rescue operation was abandoned because there was no longer any hope of finding the crew alive.

On January 5 of the following year she was declared dead by a California court.

His body was never found.
image.jpg

Until today the theories about what happened with Amelia continue, in 2016 2 bodies were found in the Island of Nikumamoro.

There is no solid evidence to support that the bodies belong to her and Fred but many claim that they died as castaways on that island.

Others claimed to have evidence that the Japanese captured her and died as a prisoner
image.jpg

Maybe we'll never know the truth
Today the world seems to have forgotten the woman who dominated the sky and became a symbol of freedom in her time

And that was the story of Amelia Earhart's last flight.

End....
