摘要

IT WAS WHILE I WAS IN THE NAVY, flying the Vought SBU Corsair with a scouting squadron, that I became involved in the search for Amelia Earhart. The news of her disappearance had hit the newsstands on the Fourth of July weekend in 1937, and the carrier USS Lexington was sent on a hastily organized search mission. Most of us came aboard thinking we would only go out a thousand miles or so before the whole thing was called off, so we brought along only an overnight bag with a pair of pajamas, a razor, and perhaps a change of underwear. As it turned out, we stayed aboard for a month and eventually had to buy clothes from the ship's store. We started our search on July 13 from Earhart's last known destination, Howland Island. At a given signal, two lines of 24 airplanes formed on each side of the ship and began flying away from each other, 90 degrees from the ship's course. During the flights, which lasted about three hours, the pilots all gazed toward the center of the flight line and the rear-seat men looked in the opposite direction with binoculars. Each of us was anxious to be the first to sight Earhart and her navigator Fred Noonan, so we paid close attention to the ocean below us. We figured they would be in a rubber boat, and from our 500-foot altitude we could see anything-garbage, trash-floating in the water.
