| The new photo which we believe shows Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan on the Jaluit Island dock.
This is probably about a week after they crashed on Mili Atoll…about 100 miles away.
Amelia is sitting with her back (white blouse) to the camera and Fred is standing to the far left
. You’ll see more clearly in the enlargements that follow…. |
In The Photo Below, Fred Noonan Is Standing To The Left Holding A Sign. The Person To The Right Of Fred Wearing The Tan Hat Is A Possible Translator Used By The Japanese To Talk To Amelia And Fred.
Note also that this person is wearing sunglasses which were NOT mass-produced in that time. So, it is reasonable to suggest they may be Amelia's aviator sunglasses, used as a clever device to let the world know she was there, sitting on the dock, with her back to the camera.
If both Fred and Amelia had posed, face-first to the camera, it would have likely guaranteed the photographer's immediate arrest and confiscation of the film. As it was, the photographer was later said to have been arrested and executed by the Japanese for spying.
Fred is holding a white sign with writing on it. The sign is partially-obscured by the two people to the right of Noonan. One is wearing a white hat and the one with the sunglasses. This is 1937, 4 years before the War but the
Japanese were already heavily planning for it. Amelia and Fred both expected FDR to intervene and bring them home. Sadly, like Pearl Harbor, FDR betrayed and abandoned them in one of the biggest disgraces ever. |

Fred, Also Appearing To Be Wearing Sunglasses, Is Holding A Hand-Writren Sign…Like An SOS Flag
It's Fred Noonan Alright! His Utterly Distinctive Hairline Is Casting A Shadow In The Overhead Noon Day Sun
It Also Appears He May Have Been Wearing His Aviator Sunglasses In The Jaluit Photo
