Five years after the 2002 publication of With Our Own Eyes: Eyewitnesses to the Final Days of Amelia Earhart, the 1937 disappearance of famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart is still universally seen as the same impenetrable, unresolved mystery today that it was seventy years ago. The second edition of With Our Own Eyes presents the latest research findings and developments in the Earhart matter, including: The death and legacy of Thomas E. Devine, an eyewitness to the discovery and destruction of Earharts Electra 10E at Saipans Aslito Field in July 1944. The passing of former Marine Earskin J. Nabers, after Devine the most important eyewitnesses to these events on Saipan, and Nabers role in recently discovered information about the man who directed the operation to destroy Earharts plane on Saipan, as described by Devine in EYEWITNESS. New eyewitness testimony that further confirms a Marshall Islands landing by Earhart and Noonan prior to their capture and transport to Saipan by the Japanese. The reemergence of the slanderous Amelia Earhart-as-Irene Bolam theory, first introduced in the 1970 book, Amelia Earhart Lives, by Joe Klaas, and revived in 2003 by retired Air Force Colonel Rollin Reineck in Amelia Earhart Survived. Drawing on an extensive volume of new findings by several noted Earhart investigators, the second edition of With Our Own Eyes presents the most complete debunking ever of the false and defamatory Earhart-as-Bolam myth.

And much more.With Our Own Eyes continues the search for truth in the Earhart matter in the tradition of uncompromising integrity established by Paul Briand Jr., Goerner and Devine and to follow the only path that can lead us through the apparently impassable wall of government silence and disinformation in the Earhart case to a final resolution, recognized by all. With Our Own Eyes is must reading for anyone with an interest in learning the facts about this chapter in American history.
