The Definitive Amelia Earhart Book?

I have to admit, ever since I have been in high school, lessee – that is at least 20 years ago – – no – over 40 – I have had a fascination with the fate of Amelia Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan.

I can remember reading a book where the author claimed that she was secretly living in New Jersey after her disappearance.

Others claim that she was on a secret mission for FDR and was executed by the Japanese on Saipan.

I can see why it became a nearly 80 year mystery.
