[177], At 6:14am another call was received stating the aircraft was within 200 miles (320km), and requested that the ship use its direction finder to provide a bearing for the aircraft.

Additionally, the researcher who discovered the photo also identified the ship in the right of the photo as another ship called Koshu, seized by Allied Japanese forces during World War I, and not the Koshu Maru. The Electra had been equipped to transmit a 500kHz signal that Itasca could use for radio direction finding, but some of that equipment had been removed. The 4851200kHz may be a guess based on the subsequent model 20BA having that range. Further, a review of sonar data concluded it was most likely a coral ridge. In 2004, an archaeological dig at the site failed to turn up any bones. [46][47] However, she changed her mind and enrolled in a course in medical studies and other programs at Columbia University.

And on July 2, she took off from there for tiny Howland Island on a 2,556-mile flight that would be one of her longest and most dangerous. [82] Her piloting skills and professionalism gradually grew, as acknowledged by experienced professional pilots who flew with her. This collection of papers is held by the Schlesinger Library, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University. She continued, "I may have to keep some place where I can go to be by myself, now and then, for I cannot guarantee to endure at all times the confinement of even an attractive cage.

Noonan had recently left Pan Am, where he established most of the company's China Clipper seaplane routes across the Pacific.
