I've read of sources that state that Fred Noonan held the commercial Radiotelegraph
Second Class license, although I've never heard if that included the Aircraft
Radiotelegraph endorsement.  Either way, that should indicate that Mr. Noonan
would be very capable of competently operating both phone and telegraph equipment.
Yet most sources seem to indicate that Earhart performed the radio operator duties.
All that is strange if true.
