Talk:Amelia Earhart/Archive 5

message: I would like to add something to the Biography page regarding the yellow Kissel Roadster.  The Forney Museum of Transportation http://www.forneymuseum.org has this car on display.  It also has a wax figure of Amelia in the car.  Could this information be added to the section describing the vehicles?  I might be able to create a page about the car and have a link to "Goldbug" or "Yellow Peril" since Kissel and Roadster have their own wiki pages.
Thanks,

replies: text: Specifically, is it the notation that GP's son supported the TIGHAR work? He is quoted in other sources as saying, "I wish people would just leave this all alone. They can't see seem to grasp that she ran out of gas and crashed in the sea." or is it the note by entertainment reporter Linda O'Connor where she repeats what is said in books, not provides a viable statement? She is not an aviation reporter, historian or researcher. BTW, check the record, I did not begin an edit war, you hit 3R first; I merely rearranged the paragraph and removed one questionable reference source. I can certainly see the reason for changing back the original wording on the Putnam passage as this can be misleading to a reader. However, check back a paragraph or too and there is another contridictory statement attributed to him, so I wanted to remove the ambiquity. However,I do see your point here.

message: I guess the fine description of the unique problems of celestial navigation of aircraft given by Gatty's ghost writer eluded everyone.
I have started. I will admit that I figure that both she and Noonan did a pretty good job and had a bad day. The article need not have suggestive wording to implant in the mind of the reader an 'answer' when - as in the case of the ground loop in Hawaii - there is less than certainty. I also changed wording that made it appear that the greatest chance was that Earhart and Noonan survived the day they failed to land at Howland. I would love to add a bit of feel for the ear and her position in it - I am not a hagiographer - but she was significant in keeping the public 'air minded."Mark Lincoln 23:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
