Unit four.

Track thirty one.

At midnight, on July the second, nineteen thirty-seven, Amelia and Noonan left New Guinea to cross the ocean.

The plan was for them to fly to Howland Island, a tiny island in the Pacific.

Her plane had over a thousand gallons of gas, more than enough to fly to the island.

But nineteen hours later, there was no sign of Amelia's plane over Howland, and nobody knew where she was.

Then at last, the coast guard got a message from Amelia by radio.

She told them that she was running out of gas, but that she thought she was very close to the island.

But no one on the island ever heard the plane.

Soon after, all contact with Amelia was lost.

The US Navy immediately began looking for the plane, but sixteen days later, they gave up.

The plane and the life raft were never found.

In the public imagination, it remains one of the great mysteries of American history and is a subject of many books, songs, films, and conspiracy theories.

But one thing is for sure.

Amelia Earhart has not been forgotten.
