This Day in American History
On this day in 1937, Amelia Earhart and her navigator Frederick Noonan fail to find Howland Island in the Pacific, in their attempt to fly around the World west to east, and in some radio contact with the Coast Guard cutter Itasca, they report they are low on fuel and not in sight of any land. Neither they nor any trace of their Lockheed Electra plane were ever recovered.

Rog,
There has been a lot or work by the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery focusing on the island of Nikumaroru.
I won't recount all of the findings here but there is some compelling eveidence that Earhart and Noonan may have landed on the island after which theplane slipped into deep water.
