Seventy-five years ago today Amelia Earhart had hoped to be on her way
to Howland Island. We know that she will not make that final take off
for three more days. In But This Is Different http://butthisisdifferent.com
she has no way to communicate these delays to the woman who waits for
her on the island of Nani. In the photograph Amelia stands on the wing
of her Electra on a dark night in Lae, New Guiena, and surely looks
toward that invisible speck of land knowing that Pilapan also gazes into
the night searching for the most famous face in the world.
