I really want know.

Answer

At GMT Amelia made her last radio contact with Lae. She reported being on course for Howland Island at , feet. There is no real evidence as to the precise track of the aircraft after Nukumanu. No one saw or heard the plane fly over.brbrSeveral short transmission were received by the Itasca with varying signal strengths but they were unable to get a fix on her location because they were too brief. At GMT the following transmission was received from the Electra at maximum strength...brbrquotKHAQQ calling Itasca. We must be on you but cannot see you...gas is running low...quotbrbrAt GMT the Itasca received the last voice transmission from Amelia giving positioning data. The Itasca continued to transmit on all frequencies until hours GMT when they determined that Amelia must have ditched at sea and began to implement search procedures.brbrIt has been determined that the plane went down some miles off the coast of Howland Island. A life raft was stowed on board but no trace has ever been found the raft. Some experts felt that the empty fuel tanks could keep the plane afloat for a period of time.brbrPresident Roosevelt authorized a search of naval ships and aircraft at an estimated cost of over million. On July the search was abandoned by ships in the Howland area. George continued to seek help in the search, but by October he too abandoned all hope of finding them alive.brbrAmelia regularly sent letters to George at stops along her route. These were published in the book quotLast Flightquot. On an endpiece of the book is a note from her to George...brbrquotPlease know I am quite aware of the hazards...I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others.quot
