In 2011, the Great Canadian Theatre Company hosted a musical play titled Amelia: The Girl Who Wants To Fly. [312] This is one of numerous plays on the subject. Amelia Earhart Commemorative Stamp (8¢ airmail postage) was issued in 1963 by the United States Postmaster-General.

To commemorate her first transatlantic flight, on the Millennium Coastal Path at Pwll, Burry Port, South Wales is a blue plaque sponsored by Llanelli Community Heritage. [301]Through a series of misunderstandings or errors (the details of which are still controversial), the final approach to Howland Island using radio navigation was not successful. Fred Noonan had earlier written about problems affecting the accuracy of radio direction finding in navigation. [Note 32] Another cited cause of possible confusion was that the Itasca and Earhart planned their communication schedule using time systems set a half-hour apart, with Earhart using Greenwich Civil Time (GCT) and the Itasca under a Naval time zone designation system.

Earhart was one of several inspiring women represented by a new line of Barbie dolls introduced March 6, 2018. [314] Earhart's accomplishments in aviation inspired a generation of female aviators, including the more than 1,000 women pilots of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) who ferried military aircraft, towed gliders, flew target practice aircraft, and served as transport pilots during World War II.

A rumor that claimed that Earhart had made propaganda radio broadcasts as one of the many women compelled to serve as Tokyo Rose was investigated closely by George Putnam. According to several biographies of Earhart, Putnam investigated this rumor personally but after listening to many recordings of numerous Tokyo Roses, he did not recognize her voice among them.

Quote: "She vanished nearly 60 years ago, but fascination with Amelia Earhart continues through each new generation." [11] The first flight between California and Hawaii was completed on June 28–29, 1927 by the Army Air Corps tri-motor Bird of Paradise. The original plan was a two-person crew. Earhart would fly and Manning would navigate. During a flight across the country that included Earhart, Manning, and Putnam, Earhart flew using landmarks. She and Putnam knew where they were. Manning did a navigation fix, but that fix alarmed Putnam, because Manning's position put them in the wrong state. They were flying close to the state line, so the navigation error was minor, but Putnam was still concerned. [136] Sometime later, Putnam and Mantz arranged a night flight to test Manning's navigational skill. [137] Under poor navigational conditions, Manning's position was off by 20 miles. Elgen M. and Marie K. Long consider Manning's performance reasonable because it was within an acceptable error of 30 miles, but Mantz and Putnam wanted a better navigator. [138]In March 1937, Kelly Johnson had recommended engine and altitude settings for the Electra. One of the recommended schedules was: [151] [Note 20] Altitude Programs Learning resources Plan a field trip Educator professional development Education monthly theme

In the 2021 alternate history novella Or Even Eagle Flew by Harry Turtledove, Earhart does not go missing in 1937 and later joins the Eagle Squadrons of the British Royal Air Force to fight against the Nazis in World War II. [317] Countless other tributes and memorials have been made in Amelia Earhart's name, including a 2012 tribute by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, speaking at a State Department event celebrating the ties of Earhart and the United States to its Pacific neighbors, noting: "Earhart ... created a legacy that resonates today for anyone, girls and boys, who dreams of the stars." [291] In 2013, Flying magazine ranked Earhart No. 9 on its list of the "51 Heroes of Aviation". [12] The following list is not considered definitive, but serves also to give significant examples of tributes and honors. Amelia Earhart's Last Flight", by "Yodelling Cowboy" Red River Dave McEnery, is thought to be the first song ever performed on commercial television (at the 1939 World's Fair). He recorded it in 1941 and it was subsequently covered by artists including Kinky Friedman and the Country Gentlemen. Whether any post-loss radio signals were received from Earhart and Noonan remains unclear. If transmissions were received from the Electra, most if not all were weak and hopelessly garbled. Earhart's voice transmissions to Howland were on 3105kHz, a frequency restricted in the United States by the FCC to aviation use. [Note 34] This frequency was thought to be not fit for broadcasts over great distances. When Earhart was at cruising altitude and midway between Lae and Howland (over 1,000 miles (1,600km) from each) neither station heard her scheduled transmission at 0815 GCT. [186] Moreover, the 50-watt transmitter used by Earhart was attached to a less-than-optimum-length V-type antenna. [187] [188] [Note 35]According to records, Noonan was 6ft (1.8m) tall and Earhart was 5ft 8in (1.73m) and wore a size 6 shoe according to her sister. From the given coordinates, the great circle distance is 4,124 kilometres (2,563mi; 2,227nmi). See "Calculate distance, bearing and more between Latitude/Longitude points". movable-type.co.uk .
