Where did Amelia Earhart's flight go down?
Amelia Earhart's plane, I think, went down in the Bermuda Triangle caused by bad weather and not enough fuel.
1. She was in fact not even in the same ocean as the Bermuda triangle when she went down.
2. She was unable to find the small island in the middle of the ocean that had her support crew.
3. Though weather did likely make the celestial navigation she was using difficult, and winds are thought to have delayed her flight, one good book on the topic notes that she informed the support teams to broadcast radio navigation information on a frequency her equipment was not capable of receiving. Best guess is somewhere in the pacific ocean in the general area of Howland Island. The margin for error using celestial navigation made it nearly impossible for her to find the island without using her radio navigation equipment.

Anyone know the value of a Amelia Earhart signed photo?
It is hard to say, they were produced in great quantities and handed out (By Amelia) at air shows, and book-signing fests. multiple signatures with other women pilots- as Amelia headed up the Ninety-Nines, would of course be valuable. There were a good many facsimile signatures- and the adoption of the Amelia Earhart name by a familiar luggage manufacturer , active into the seventies- adds to the confusion, if you have doubts as to the authenticity= contact the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum in Atchison, Kansas. Yes, on the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe ! Her father worked for the ATSF as a purchasing agent.

How did Amelia Earhart get her nickname?
One assumes you mean the media term Lady Lindy- it is easy to explain (Lindy) honored (? as the term was even extended to a popular dance) the aviator Charles Lindbergh who made the epoch-making New York to Paris Flight in l927 ( Spirit of St.Louis NX-2ll) There are some who still claim the flight was a fictated Newspaper stunt. As Amelia Earhart was, after all the first Aviatrix to fly the Atlantic the nickname Lady Lindy seems downright obvious. she may have had other nicknames like the (Flat Top) or ( Flatsy) which were derisive about her physical construct. of course flat top is an acceptable term for an Aircraft Carrier -USN usage. but something else is implied- she was (Flat on top). quite the opposite of, say Jayne Mansfield who was nicknamed the (Cow). for obvious reasons, either feast or famine on the top line.
