one disputed picture claiming that she was captured by Japan.
It was much more than that and I was riveted, totally fascinating
It did end up being a little better than I thought it would. Unfortunately, no conclusive evidence, but they laid out a compelling story. Well, they pieced together several supportive, compelling stories.
I mean the Marshall Island's issued stamps back in the 1980's about it!! Didn't anyone consider why they might be doing that??
Exactly. I was disappointed that they're so vague about where those bones from the 1960's excavation ended up because that really could've sealed it but regardless, there was lots of stuff in there to support them being captured, I mean the Marshall Island's issued stamps back in the 1980's about it!!

The picture apparently was taken two years before Earhart disappeard:https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jul/11/blogger-discredits-claim-amelia-earhart-was-taken-prisoner-by-japan
Yea I read that, History says they're following up but just because a blogger says so doesn't automatically make it true and like I said there was a lot more to it than the picture.
The History Channel no longer makes shows about real history. They now primarily air any show that any conspiracy nut brings to them...(Image removed from quote.)
Totally agreed. American Pickers? Got to admit I've seen more than a few episodes, but this is not what "history" means to me. Pawn stars? I"ve seen enough. Once upon a time the History Channel did a really nice job with its core mission but no longer.I am a big fan of military history and have a heck of a time finding good programs. Stumbled into a nice concise docu-recreation of Operation Archery last weekend but damn if I know where to find that sort of thing again.EDIT: I found where I saw that one - Smithsonian Channel, a series they are running called WWII's Most Daring Raids. Coming up this week "Storming Mussolini's Island" and "Cutting Rommel's Lifeline".
Vin Scully on the ESPY's "God gave us memories so we could have roses in a December" omgosh he is the best that ever was or ever will be
You don't believe that's an original line, do you? He probably googled it.
