Amelia Earhart

From Afternoons, 2:10 pm on 26 June 2013

For decades, photos that may help solve the mystery about what happened to pioneering aviator Amelia Earhart sat in a tin box at the New Zealand Air Force Museum in Christchurch. Matthew O'Sullivan is the curator of photographs at the museum. He wondered if the unnamed atoll could be the island where Rick Gillespie from The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) believes Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan spent time as castaways before their death.
