It was fictionalized considerably, names changed and story line altered ( last mission was solo- no Fred Noonan navigator). the film was called Flight(not fight!) For Freedom and was made by RKO ( Hughes controlled) in l943. Title character a CIA ( as we would not say) operative is fatally downed by Japanese AA fire in the end. there is no doubt she was a Counter-intelligence agent. In the film she is called Toni Carter which seems to be borrowed from characters ( Marie Antoinette for Toni) and Sidney Carton ( not a milk dealer!) from Tale of Two Cities, both expendable in the revolution. There was no real bio-film specifically about Amelia Earhart, ( prior to current one with Hillary Swank) but there have been close approaches with films dealing with aviatrix characters inc luding Tarzan and the Magic Fountain) where the missing "trix was called Gloria James ( H"mm rival road, NYC, huH!) and was played by Evelyn Ankers, this is almost Science Fiction in the Tarzan matter. another Tarzan novel ( Tarzan and the Princess) was about Illegal Alien #l from the U.S.S.R. so it goes. there are more films directly about Anastasia than Amelia- Rank hath its privileges, Comrade. a Princess is far above a non-rated intelligence operative!
