Commemoration Stone for Amelia Earhart's 1928 transatlantic flight, next to the quay side in Burry Port, Wales

Following her parents' divorce in 1924, she drove her mother in the "Yellow Peril" on a transcontinental trip from California with stops throughout the western United States and a jaunt up to Banff, Alberta. The meandering tour eventually brought the pair to Boston, Massachusetts, where Earhart underwent another sinus operation which was more successful. After recuperation, she returned to Columbia University for several months but was forced to abandon her studies and any further plans for enrolling at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, because her mother could no longer afford the tuition fees and associated costs. Soon after, she found employment first as a teacher, then as a social worker in 1925 at Denison House, a Boston settlement house. [60] At this time, she lived in Medford, Massachusetts.

Henri Keyzer-Andre, a former Pan Am pilot, propounded this view in his 1993 book Age Of Heroes: Incredible Adventures of a Pan Am Pilot and his Greatest Triumph, Unravelling the Mystery of Amelia Earhart. [263] 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. Earhart began whistling into the microphone to provide a continual signal for them to home in on. [179] It was at this point that the radio operators on the Itasca realized that their RDF system could not tune in the aircraft's 3105kHz frequency; radioman Leo Bellarts later commented that he "was sitting there sweating blood because I couldn't do a darn thing about it." A similar call asking for a bearing was received at 6:45am, when Earhart estimated they were 100 miles (160km) out. [180] The height of the antenna is important, a horizontally polarized antenna operating at a small fraction of its wavelength above the ground will be less efficient than that same antenna operating at cruising altitude.

Another theory is that Earhart and Noonan were captured by Japanese forces, perhaps after somehow navigating to somewhere within the Japanese South Seas Mandate. Long & Long (1999, pp.61–63) has Bendix representative Cyril Remmlein coming from Washington, D.C., to Burbank on February 25, 1937, to install the RA-1 and direction finding equipment. Manning would be able to work the radio from the copilot's seat or the cabin. Manning would have to be in the cabin to pay out the trailing wire antenna and to select the transmitting antennas. The book claims the loop antenna was a Navy RDF-1-B direction finder loop with a custom loop coupler control box connected to a Bendix RA-1 receiver.Amelia Earhart Centre."| Derry City Council Heritage and Museum Service.
