Amelia Earhart, a famous and talented American aviator, was the first female aviator that successfully flew by herself across the Atlantic Ocean and later attempted, in 1937, to take flight around the world. During that global endeavor, she perished in a plane crash on route to Howland Island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. However, I am not entirely convinced about the conspiracies that arose after the plane crash and alleged death of Amelia. The one that I was not convinced about was that Amelia was a spy for the United States’ Government. Also that during her flight over the Pacific Ocean she was later was shot down by the Japanese and captured because she was trying to gather Intel on their pre-world war plans. The factors of that absurd

That gives some background to say that Amelia was heading in the direction of the Japanese. However, she did not attempt again to travel to the west after the first incident. She took an elaborate easterly route that took longer to be able to spy on the Japanese if that was her whole motive for the trip. She flew from Hawaii and ventured off on her elaborate trip in May, making several stops along the way, which consisted of South America, Africa, Southern Asia and Australia. Never in those several landings did she come across Japanese waters, for that meant she would not have been able to gather information of the Japanese. Then if the Amelia conspiracy about her being a spy for the United States government was true, then why did she not try again to depart from Hawaii? A true fearless spy would get the mission done by traveling towards Japan when she departed from Hawaii the second time. Amelia would have known the risk that would come from her mission if she departed from Japan the second time. Therefore, she calculated a safer route in an eastern way to throw off suspicion of her spy motives. However, she never ventured near the area of Japan; therefore, her whole purpose for the trip was in vain. Simply stating that …show more content…
First Amelia was not the first individual to attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, that was Charles Lindbergh. Charles was not afraid of a challenge even when “by 1927, four men had died, three were seriously injured, and two others went missing in the attempt” to cross the Atlantic Ocean. (Reed). He paved the road for Amelia to be the first female aviator to do so. Therefore wouldn’t Charles be more qualified to take on this responsibility for his country rather than Amelia? The fact that Amelia being chosen to become a spy does not make sense, when there is a more qualified aviator willing to take on the challenges to serve his countries. However, when the Second World War was upon the United States, they did not join until they were bombed at Pearl Harbor by the Japanese. If the United States did need to gather information on the enemies then why did they not sent out for spies to prevent the tragedy that was Pearl Harbor. Therefore, the need for Amelia being a spy did not aid the US in any way possible. Meaning that the sole purpose for her adventure was to test her limits as an aviator and not to aid the US
