[ARC5] Amelia Earhart and Nikumaroro

[Richard Knoppow]

    I think maybe you are right. The Aerhart mystery gets 
discussed with such seriousness that its easy to miss a tongue in 
cheek comment. I mean this has been seriously proposed.
    Its interesting to me that a couple of years after this 
Howard Hughes made a round the world flight, not to prove his 
heroism but rather to demonstrate that aircraft had developed far 
enough to make international travel by air practical.
