FRANCE-US-AMELIA EARHART
(FILES) This undated picture taken in the 1930' s of American female aviator Amelia Earhart in front of her plane in Essone, France. Aviation buffs are wondering if they have detected the long-sought wreckage of Amelia Earhart's plane at the bottom of the Pacific. Earhart in 1932 became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, going from Canada to England. In 1937, she disappeared while flying with navigator Fred Noonan on a Lockheed Electra going from Papua New Guinea to California. It was the final stage of a journey to fly around the globe along an equatorial route. Now, a sonar image found near a remote Pacific island called Nikumaroro during a new expedition known as Niku VII is getting intense attention."It's exciting. It's frustrating. It's maddening. There is a sonar image in the data collected during last summer's Niku VII expedition that could be the wreckage of Amelia Earhart's Lockheed Electra," says the website of Tighar, or The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery.
