FOR THE FUN OF IT
It's July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart, pilot, and Capt. Fred Noonan, navigator, are flying the final leg of a grueling world tour - -the Pacific Ocean. The finish line? Oakland,CA. Before they pop the champagne, they must refuel on Howland Island and Hawii -- refueling on Howland, the postage stamp of islands, is the riskier venture. Severe weather, faulty antennas, and a draining fuel supply threaten their success. Will they reach Howland before the fuel runs out?

Adverse weather and lack of ground support from The Ontario leave the pilot-navigator duo in a precarious position. Without the Letter A, a morse code beacon broadcast by The Ontario, the risks of getting lost increase. Do they continue or turn back?
