Short Biography

Amelia Earhart was an  aviatrix who disappeared July 1937 in the Pacific Ocean while on a highly  publicized world flight attempt. The FBI never investigated her disappearance.  The records generally consist of correspondence from individuals speculating  about her fate. In 1990, the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery submitted a navigator's bookcase to the FBI Laboratory for examination. This item was suspected of having been part of Ms. Earhart's lost aircraft. Various  technical analyses were conducted and nothing was found which would disqualify the artifact as having come from the Earhart aircraft.
