NEW YORK (AP) — The photo is haunting. Among a number of figures gathered on a dock, the fuzzy image seems to be that of a woman, her back to the camera, gazing at what may be her crippled aircraft loaded on a barge, and perhaps wondering what her future might hold....

The film also argues that after the pair crash-landed in the Japanese-held Marshall Islands, they were picked up by the Japanese military and that Earhart, perhaps presumed to be a U.S. spy, was held prisoner.


The photo has apparently been subjected to a rigorous facial recognition program and it was determined that two of the figures were "likely" Earhat and Noonan.

I saw this yesterday. As exciting as it was to find this out, it also put a dent in my trust in our government, who knew about this if true. Speculation was this was a coverup because she was indeed used as a spy.

Sad but true, if true.

I have my doubts.

It's an advert for a History Channel show

Were there "tensions" between the US and Japanese at that time? It was before WWII - I don't know my international history that well.

I assume the Marshall Islands had radar coverage.
Wouldn't Noonan and Earhart have informed various gov'ts BEFORE take-off of their intended route - so the Japanese would be aware / on the lookout for aircraft?

The gov't is blamed for many speculative cover-ups and mis-deeds. Not denying that they could, but they're not behind every suspicious event.

I think it is a BS History Channel show.

From the link: Facial recognition expert Kent Gibson, who compared known images of Noonan and Earhart with the individuals photographed on the dock, believes it’s “likely” they are the two lost aviators.

“There’s nothing that points me in another direction,” says Gibson, who adds that the figure believed to be Earhart has the “same prominent, athletic shoulders as Amelia” and the same “short, bobbed hair.”


So the "facial recognition expert" sees a blurry photo of someone's back and identifies it as Earhart.

I have literally spent my entire adult life having people tell me that I "look exactly like this guy I know"... having people tap me on the back and when I turn saying "oh I'm sorry, I though you were my buddy....."

"same prominent, athletic shoulders"


Hmmm....Marianne Breslauer had those "same prominent, athletic shoulders" (if you don't agree, put the two pictures across the room set to an equal size ratio and blurriness and say they aren't close) and hair style



As to the guy, the shadows cover his face, there isn't enough face for the facial expert to look at.

Finally, if they are in Japanese military or navy custody, why isn't there a single soldier or sailor in the photo?

What I'm getting from your post is that Marianne Breslauer was a knockout.

Japanese aggression began in the 1930s, similar to Nazi aggression prior to our involvement, but earlier. The US led the international rebuke, which included sanctions. So yes, there was tension, and was likely one of the causes of Pearl Harbor 4 years after Amelia's disappearance.

And if this flight was indeed a guise for a spy mission, I would think that the less information the Japanese knew about the flight's specifics, other than the surface story of an aviation feat, the better. Remember, this was before the use of spy planes, so it isn't too far fetched to believe the US would use what they could at the time, especially when it involved flying over the Pacific.

I'm not one to usually believe in conspiracy theories, but pictures usually don't lie, and the ones that do usually don't pass rigorous expert examination, which this one apparently has.

Sure, we don't know for sure, but it isn't too far fetched to understand why it could be true if it is.

Actually I think she was a spy arrested by the Japanese.

I was also wondering the "purpose" of the photo - what was the subject? why was it taken?

Personally I am not aware of any evidence that reasonably suggests that AE was working as a spy.

As for the question "Were there "tensions" between the US and Japanese at that time?" The short answer is "yes there were" though tensions increased significantly just after AE's disappearance with the Marco Polo Bridge clash btw Chinese and Japanese forces that signalled all out war btw the two nations. Relationships btw the US and japan were further strained after the Japanese bombed the U.S.S. Panay.

As for the Marshall Islands and radar coverage, the US did not employ Radar until 1940. Radar itself was 'invented' by the British who were the first to use it for practical purposes. Radar was first effectively demonstrated at Daventry in February 1935.

Note : in 1940 Churchill ordered that UK secrets be shared with the US, this included the newly developed resonant-cavity magnetron RDF that was some 100 times more powerful than anything the US had at that time.
