Senior aviator in the flight of three aircraft from U.S.S. Colorado that overflew Gardner Island on July 9, 1937.
The observers
"Two were regular enlisted observers and one was the ship's Assisstant 1st Lt. and Damage Control Officer. The 'trained observers' were not trained in aerial searching. The mission of the battleship's planes was to act as forward observers to adjust the fire of the big guns."[1]
The Lambrecht Photo
This U.S. Navy photo is the only picture known to have been taken of Gardner Island during the 1937 search for Amelia Earhart. The photographer is unknown, but this print of the photo, obtained from an archive in New Zealand, is inscribed “U.S. Navy (pilot) July 9, 1937” on the reverse.
