Title: AE on DVD
Post by: David M Hughdie on March 14, 2011, 07:04:06 PM

Hello everyone

New menber from St Andrews in Scotland. This is my first posting on the forum.

I became interested in AE & the TIGHAR project about a year ago when I read about a Ric Gillespie press conference discussing the bone fragments found on Nikumaroro. I've since read several books on Earhart & her disappearance including RG's excellent 'Finding Amelia' and Tom King et al's 'Amelia Earhart's Shoes'.

I've recently been looking for video material on AE. There are many short film clips on YouTube, but I'm seeking something more substantial. That is, a DVD. As far as I can discern, there are four DVDs currently available detailing Earhart's life & disappearance:

1. A&E Biography: Amelia Earhart  - Queen of the Air [2010] (50 mins)

2. National Geographic: Where's Amelia Earhart? [2009] (50 mins)

3. The Final Hours: Amelia Earhart's Last Flight [2000] (57 mins)

4. The Extraordinary Life of  Amelia Earhart {2010] (60 mins)

I'll probably end up buying at least one of the above. Do any forum members own any of these DVDs and can recommend any one in particular or can advise on which (if any) to steer clear of?

Anyone know if there is any way to buy the Discovery Channel documentary DVD?  I can get clips of it on their website, but I can't find a link to download or buy the whole thing, and I can't find it for sale on Amazon either.

There's been some discussion (http://tighar.org/smf/index.php/topic,338.0.html) about the DVD but no word on it's becoming available yet.
