Harold John Barnes
Barnes may have known Earhart. He was on Nauru on the day of the fatal flight.
- From Shaun Barnes
- "Harold Barnes was in charge of the Radio Station at Nauru. I believe Amelia tried to contact Harold just before she disappeared. He wasn't on duty at the time."
- "He was with the Royal Navy as well as the Royal Australian Navy. His son Frank was also in the Air Force (My grandfather) and some of his info is in his file also. He was at Nauru also for a while with his parents."
