I just read my current edition of [Naval Institute] PROCEEDINGS. They have
the book on their recommended reading list. Good for you.

For those interested in dogfighting through history there is a new TV
program of merit. It's called Dogfights and is on the History channel
on Friday evenings. They do a very good job of clearly illustrating
historic dogfights with extremely well crafted computer graphics.
Those involved in the actual dogfight provide personal recollections
and air combat tactics are simply explained. Website below:

Forget all that other stuff about alien abductions, captured by the
Japanese or landed on a deserted island - this is obviously what
happened to Amelia and Fred, the Navy just wasn't quick enough to
find it!

Subject:      Seattle Museum of Flight Amelia Earhart Event

Seattle's Museum of Flight has sent preliminary information to local schools of
a forthcoming Amelia Earhart event, I believe to be held in the Spring. It will
be available as an educational program for students.  Do we have any TIGHAR
participants scheduled for this event, or any details on the exact date?

"Undercover History - Amelia Earhart" will air this Wednesday,
November 29 at 10 p.m. (EST) on the National Geographic Channel.

Whether you're able to get the show will depend upon your cable
service.  At least in this area you have to have digital cable.  We
won't be able to get it so if somebody who has the capability could
run it onto a DVD I'd appreciate it.

TIGHAR's work should be a significant part of the show.  They
interviewed me and Betty and even did a recreation of her notebook
episode.  We provide tons of information and documents. They also
reportedly bought some footage of the 1991 TIGHAR expedition from NBC.

That we will be part of the show is certain.  HOW they will treat us
is the big question.

LTM,
Ric

First I've heard of it.  Thanks for the heads up.  I'll get in touch with them.
How can they possibly have an Amelia Earhart event without TIGHAR?  :-)

I've got the National Geographic Channel.

I know I can record to video, and I'm pretty sure I can record to DVD.

Glad to know this show is better than the usual cable documentaries.

LTM,
Karen

Emily Treakle of the Seattle Museum of Flight advised me that such an event
is not now on their schedule.  I did provide her with information on the TIGHAR
organizations should they be interested in pursuing the idea.  Sorry for the
bad lead; I am further checking on the possibility it may have been another
organization in Seattle sponsoring a program.

Rick, for future reference -- though I don't recall Emily, I did an
Ameliaschpiel at the MOF two or three years ago, preceded by a
breakfast talk to their "Dawn Patrol" group of major supporters.  So
they shouldn't be entirely unaware of TIGHAR and the Earhart project,
though I do find that memories are short in historical organizations.
