A fun "fact"[edit]

As a random comment... the only source I found talking about is a blog ([1]), so probably not best to put it in, but the show claims that the original photographer of the picture was executed (!) by the Japanese... despite not knowing who the photographer was... a fascinating inclusion (read: fabrication).

Date of airing[edit]

Shouldn't the article give the date and time that this program was aired?--Khajidha (talk) 10:06, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Khajidha: It was Sunday, July 9. (The time I think is less interesting, since it varies by time zone? And checking, a few other TV shows also omit this, and the main TV show reference doesn't include it.) Nice catch. SnowFire (talk) 13:45, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Amelia Earhart[edit]

The pier in the July 13, 1937 photo was not built until 1936. Statements saying the picture was available in 1935 are false. Facial recognition matches Fred Noonan. Body measurements match Amelia Earhart. The Koshu has a Lockeed Electra in tow. Some eyewitness accounts say they were picked up in the Southern Ocean. My guess is Gardner Island on 7 July, 1937.

If you're just here to chat, Wikipedia is not a blog, so just make a blog post.

If this was meant as a suggestion for the article, find a Wikipedia:Reliable source that says this, like National Geographic or the like. (But... spoilers... this isn't going to happen. I think your wires are crossed here, Gardner Island wasn't part of the Japanese South Seas Mandate. Also, do you really believe that a scan of an old book made long before the documentary aired was incorrect? Would you bet money on if someone actually went to a Japanese library and read the 1935 Umi no seimeisen: Waga nannyou no sugata book if they'd find the photograph just as the scan shows?)
