President Trump on Friday announced that he would order the declassification of details surrounding the mysterious last flight of American aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart.
“I have been asked by many people about the life and times of Amelia Earhart, such an interesting story, and would I consider declassifying and releasing everything about her, in particular, her last, fatal flight!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social page.
“She was an Aviation Pioneer, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and achieved many other Aviation ‘firsts,’” he continued. “She disappeared in the South Pacific while trying to become the first woman to fly around the World.“Amelia made it almost three quarters around the World before she suddenly, and without notice, vanished, never to be seen again. Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions. I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her,” Trump added.The National Air and Space Museum notes that Earhart “was the second person to fly solo and nonstop across the Atlantic and the first woman to fly solo and nonstop across the United States.” It adds that her flying prowess thrust her into international fame.
