The flight to Karachi (then part of India) was another first-no one had ever flown non-stop from the Red Sea to India before. From Karachi the Lockheed Electra flew to Calcutta on June 17. From there, they flew on

From conducting this research I have learned several things that I did not know about Amelia Earhart. There are several theories about what happened to her. Some of which include: a spy mission authorized by President Roosevelt and was captured, she purposely dove her plane into the Pacific Ocean, she was captured by the Japanese and forced to broadcast to American GI's as "Tokyo Rose" during World War II, and she lived for years on an island in the South Pacific with a native fisherman. Whether any of these theories are true has not been proven. It still remains a mystery as to what happened to Amelia Earhart.
