--
By Douglas Westfall --
A First Person Account of America's History:
The Sixteen Day Search for the Noted Aviatrix Amelia Earhart
And How She Disappeared.
"The book makes for fascinating reading."
-- Kate Kelly, The Huffington Post --
This story is seven decades old -- it's the story of the Hunt For
Amelia Earhart.
She disappeared in July of 1937, and the US sent 9 ships, 66
aircraft,
and well over 3,000 Navy sailors, cadets, and newsmen to search well over
a quarter-million square miles of the Pacific Ocean plus 24 islands,
through torrential storms and gale force winds.
