A Lockheed Electra lost without a clue
A famous aviator making history as she flew
But in ‘37 Yanks were considered spies
A fact that the Japanese despised over Pacific skies

The weather had become quite atrocious
And the Japanese fighters were ferocious
Crashed at sea or at Howland Island died?
No, both stories are but lies, the truth hard to hide

But summarized:
(A big surprise!)

Daring flyer Earhart
Saipan crash, capture, interrogation
Daring flyer Earhart
Captured the world’s imagination
Searches ended in frustration
Eye witness accounts- their damnation

Then execution!

Without a debris field, oil slicks, and the two
US Navy didn’t know what to do or how to break bad news
They gave deserted Gardener Island a try
Was nothing on that island that was alive nor occupied

Nauru post-loss transmission sensation
Not interpreted- damn- bad modulation
Still, both Earhart and Noonan had survived!
On LAND ‘cause radio in water woulda died

Were traumatized…
(But still alive!)

Daring flyer Earhart
Saipan crash, capture, interrogation
Daring flyer Earhart
Captured the world’s imagination
Searches ended in frustration
Eye witness accounts- their damnation

Then execution!

White woman and a man, hands were tied
Japanese beat them, were vilified
Sadly, neither one would ever see the sky
At Garapan Prison both of them surely died

While:

All old accounts have been mistaken
All evidence, buried, forgotten
Saipan raid, Electra in a hangar stored
US scrapped it, the truth to be ignored

Forevermore

Daring flyer Earhart
Saipan crash, capture, interrogation
Daring flyer Earhart
Captured the world’s imagination
Searches ended in frustration
Eye witness accounts- their damnation

Then execution!
