I read Ameila Earhart; The Solved Story. Yes, she crash-landed, running out of fuel onto one of the TINY Marshall islands. Many Marshallese and Saipanese witnessed the crash. A group of woman watched her navigator, Fred Noonan, be executed, and one said she heard Earhart had died of Dysentery, Diarrhea. The book was written by Vincent Loomis, a Navy Man who was working on the Marhsalls, near Japan, and may of found one of Noonan's/Earharts shoe AND their crashed plane. Evidence: show, crashed plane (a Lockheed Electra, same as Earharts), eye witnesses, the solider who executed Noonan, and the woman who tried to nurse Earhart while she was sick. Noonan was in fact taken by the Japanese and executed, but the Japanese were so amazed of a woman pilate that they kept her alive as "show and tell". AHAH!

Many researchers believe the plane ran out of fuel and Earhart and Noonan ditched at sea. However, one group (TIGHAR — The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery) suggests they may have flown for two-and-a-half hours along a standard line of position, which Earhart specified in her last transmission received at Howland, to Gardner Island (now Nikumaroro, Kiribati) in the Phoenix group, landed there and ultimately perished. TIGHAR's research has produced a range of documented, archaeological and anecdotal evidence (but no proof) supporting this theory [7],[8]. For example, in 1940 Gerald Gallagher, a British colonial officer (also a licensed pilot) radioed his superiors to inform them that he believed he had found Earhart's skeleton, along with a sextant box, under a tree on the island's southeast corner. TIGHAR's executive director Ric Gillespie authored the book Finding Amelia (2006) which describes TIGHAR's findings regarding Earhart's world flight attempts.

Forget about the "sanitized" versions of what happened. Check the Library of Congress http://www.loc.gov
Evidence shows pretty conclusively that Ms. Earhart and her pilot were captured by the Japanese after either a forced landing or being shot down and put to death.

Her plane went down in the ocean north of Howland Island. She wasn;t a good navigator and didn't use her radio like she should. She got off course, run out of gas and went into the ocean.

Good heavens! She went missing! And, while there are a number of conspiracy stories out there, this takes the cake! And, just how did you come up with this tidbit? It is irresponsible to just plant such stories out of thin air.

um, actually, no one really knows, and most likely she just died from drowning or from the crash
i read sir j's link, and its only a theory, though there is a bit of evidence
