What were the names of Amelia Earhart's step sons?
They were David Binney Chapman and George Putnam. George died a few months ago at the age of 92. and was a nice guy that I met several times over the years at the Amelia Earhart Film Festival and Birthday Party, held in the third week of July at Atchison Kansas. I had lunch with him and his wife Marie at their home in Florida in July 2011, that was the last time I saw him.
What was Amelia Earhart's favorite music?
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!
How can I prove that Amelia Earhart crashed on mili atoll near the marshall islands and find out she disappeared on dragons triangle when the pacific Bermuda triangle has nothing to do with this?
there is absolutely no connection whatsoever between Amelia Earhart and the Bermuda Triangle. Earhart went missing in or over the Pacific Ocean, nowheres near the Bermuda triangle. the only possible cross-feed might be the fact mentioned in one of the books put out by the ARE ( Edgar Cayce associates) in a rather slipshod fashion they admitted ( (One of the first female pilots) did a Survey of the Bimini Area in l935. By l935 there were hundreds of Aviatrixes in circulation- the article did not specifically mention Earhart- who flew from California to Hawaii in that year by the way- without problems. ( do not confuse with Electra-I Hawaii crash-landing in fact and film). This brought out Electra II. Amelia, like racing drivers had a spare plane if the main one was put out of action by an accident, which it was.. ( Electra I was later repaired). Other than that, there is no tie-in between Amelia Earhart and the Bermuda Triangle.The Cayce book merely stated a Woman pilot surveyed ( and obviously survived the expedition) the area in l935, it did not mention Earhart.
What things did Amelia Earhart like?
Apart from Aviation she had some interest in Fashion design, the color yellow, and also Photography. Unconfirmed sources hold she was involved in the design and marketing of an advanced from of photometer shortly before her last mission. This may have been marketed as the Earhart Photometer. I"ve been a shutterbug since l97l and quite up ont he classics, have never seen one. Beleilved to have a rotating screen and was hand held like a Russian Ripidion (RO religious article used in blessing congregations).The base of the instrument had the controls and dials setting for film speed, and had the rotating photocell above that on a circular pivot. the instrument was hand held, as described before. Again I"ve never seen one. May have been marketed under another name after the fatal year ofl937 (like maybe Explorer Light meter)
How old was Amelia when she started taking flying lessons?
Biography When 10-year-old Amelia Mary Earhart saw her first plane at a state fair, she was not impressed. "It was a thing of rusty wire and wood and looked not at all interesting," she said. It wasn't until Earhart attended a stunt-flying exhibition, almost a decade later, that she became seriously interested in aviation. A pilot spotted Earhart and her friend, who were watching from an isolated clearing, and dove at them. "I am sure he said to himself, 'Watch me make them scamper,'" she said. Earhart, who felt a mixture of fear and pleasure, stood her ground. As the plane swooped by, something inside her awakened. "I did not understand it at the time," she said, "but I believe that little red airplane said something to me as it swished by." On December 28, 1920, pilot Frank Hawks gave her a ride that would forever change her life. "By the time I had got two or three hundred feet off the ground," she said, "I knew I had to fly." Although Earhart's convictions were strong, challenging prejudicial and financial obstacles awaited her. But the former tomboy was no stranger to disapproval or doubt. Defying conventional feminine behavior, the young Earhart climbed trees, "belly-slammed" her sled to start it downhill and hunted rats with a .22 rifle. She also kept a scrapbook of newspaper clippings about successful women in predominantly male-oriented fields, including film direction and production, law, advertising, management, and mechanical engineering. After graduating from Hyde Park High School in 1915, Earhart worked as a nurse
What did Amelia Earhart drive?
Various trucks commercially ( yes) for personal use she had Two cars which have survived as museum pieces, which they indubitably are. one was a Kissel Kar from the Twenties, the other, her last motor mount, was a l936 Cord Model 8l0 and in Yellow, both of these autos had yellow paint jobs. the Cord 8l0 will be used as a prop in the upcoming Hillary Swank film, (Amelia) . one adds rightfully so!
What kind of car did Amelia Earhart own or drive?
By the way she was briefly employed as a truck driver so her knowledge of motors extended to ground level as well as aircraft engines. as far as personal cars, Amelia owned a Kissel kar- now in a museum in Denver area, and her last motor mount, a Cord model 8l0 , vintage l936, both Yellow by the way, this car still exists also and will be used as a prop in the upcoming (Amelia) film with Hillary Swank, What a car! The 8l0 differs from the better-known 8l2 in that it lacks outside exhaust pipes.

Who was in an Old movie of Amelia erhart's life?
Evasive action. There was no full-length movie specifically about Amelia Earhart. there was a propaganda war film made in l943 called Flight For Freedom ( believe it or not the working title was the morbid- Stand By to die! they also toyed with the more positive sounding (Counterspy!)- before settling on FFF. Lead actress was Rosalind Russell in the role of fictional but Amelia-patterned OSS operative Antonia (Toni) Carter. The OSS was the forerunner of the CIA> names were changed- Toni doesn"t remotely sound like Amelia, but story was similar- heroine falls victim to Japanese AA battery fire, which may have happened to Amelia, who knows. There have been documentaries since but outside of (Amelia) with Hillary Swank, no feature length films.

Hang in there and stand by to charge your batteries- a film dealing directly with (Amelia) that"s the title, is coming out on October 23, it has been in production over a year, as the slogan goes, long a coming, long to last, short notice, soon past! no short notice here, Flash- Electra project goes on - on October 23. Hillary Swank in the title role, and from what I have seen of coming attractions costumes and aircraft and other period touches seem accurate and not fru-fur or cheesy, now to lay in a strip for the Former Soviet Union and another, Royal, woman of mystery! maybe next year- but Amelia is on the launching ramp!

Will there be a new movie about Amelia Earhart's disappearance that is dazzling stunning inspiring and historically accurate in the future?
I have no idea when this was written, the motion picture (Amelia) came out last year. It is the first fictionalized film specifically on Ms Earhart. It did not do well at the box office and got bad reviews ( Dead on Arrival- said one paper) whether they would do a remake is questionable.

Evidentally her husband- who seems to come across ( and I have only seen edited trailers or (coming attractions) of the Amelia film- who seems to come across as a micro-managing, I"ll say it, Phil Spector type who was virtually making a bundle out of his -inter-alia ( no, that is not an airline)- Ex-wife- It comes across int he film- well you could alter certain names- substitute Phillip for George and Veronica for Amelia- and well, you get the drift!
