Look at all the items (pictures) on the Earhart collection at Purdue University. Plot the route Lae-Howland- Gardner Island on Google Earth. Know the Radio messages Jul 1 & july 2 by heart, Be sure to watch the Lae takeoff several times. Above all enjoy the excellent work and discoveries that has been accomplished ty this fine organization. You will be an expert in your area on what happened to AE and FN, and you will be just fine.
