An investigation—or rather, a counter-investigation—by Bernard Marck, journalist and writer, into one of the cases that continues to haunt the history of aviation: the disappearance of Amelia Earhart in 1937.
“Meeley,” “Millie,” “Lady Lindy”… Known by many nicknames, Amelia Earhart is also—and above all—a “name” that entered aviation lore on July 2, 1937, when she vanished in the middle of the Pacific Ocean during the very last leg of a round-the-world flight with stopovers that had begun a few months earlier.
As soon as her disappearance was announced, the United States dispatched several ships and planes to find her, her co-pilot Fred Noonan, and her twin-engine Lockheed Electra 10-E. Since then, theories have abounded, circulated, and persisted… So, was it a simple accident? A possible reconnaissance mission on behalf of a government that went wrong? Theories regularly surface about what became of the aircraft and its two passengers—such as in early 2026, when a spot was identified on Google Maps that appeared to resemble a plane.
Bernard Marck explores what might have happened to the renowned aviator in a thoroughly researched biography that was reissued a few years after its initial publication. The book traces Amelia Earhart’s remarkable career—she will forever be remembered as the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
