Note 38] [194] [Note 39] Sporadic signals were reported for four or five days after the disappearance but none yielded any understandable information. During the flight, Noonan may have been able to do some celestial navigation to determine his position. Some of these reports of transmissions were later determined to be hoaxes but others were deemed authentic. Later proponents of the Japanese capture hypothesis have generally suggested the Marshall Islands instead, which while still distant from the intended location (~800 miles), is slightly more possible.

Following her parents' divorce in 1924, she drove her mother in the "Yellow Peril" on a transcontinental trip from California with stops throughout the western United States and a jaunt up to Banff, Alberta. Between 1930 and 1935, Earhart had set seven women's speed and distance aviation records in a variety of aircraft, including the Kinner Airster, Lockheed Vega, and Pitcairn Autogiro.Ordinarily, the receiver covered four frequency bands: 188–420kHz, 550–1500kHz, 1500–4000kHz, and 4000–10000kHz. Once the flight took off from Lae, Lae did not receive radio messages on 6210kHz (Earhart's daytime frequency) until four hours later (at 2:18pm); Lae's last reception was at 5:18pm and was a strong signal; Lae received nothing after that; presumably the plane switched to 3105kHz (Earhart's nighttime frequency). At Earhart's urging, Putnam purchased a small house in June 1935 adjacent to the clubhouse of the Lakeside Golf Club in Toluca Lake, a San Fernando Valley celebrity enclave community nestled between the Warner Brothers and Universal Pictures studio complexes, where they had earlier rented a temporary residence.

I bought some beige knit ponte which is quite a stable knit but still with some stretch for comfort.Manning, having taken a leave of absence to do the flight, felt that there had been too many problems and delays.

Setting off on May 8, her flight was uneventful, although the large crowds that greeted her at Newark, New Jersey, were a concern, [121] because she had to be careful not to taxi into the throng. Then I cut a rectangular waistband piece, the length of the new waist circumference (after pleats were made), sewed it on folded and pulled an elastic through. There was no honeymoon for the newlyweds, as Earhart was involved in a nine-day cross-country tour promoting autogyros and the tour sponsor, Beech-Nut chewing gum.

In September 1935, Earhart and Mantz formally established a business partnership that they had been considering since late 1934, by creating the short-lived Earhart-Mantz Flying School, which Mantz controlled and operated through his aviation company, United Air Services. Allison Fundis, Ballard's chief operating officer of the expedition stated, "We felt like if her plane was there, we would have found it pretty early in the expedition. Additionally, had the Japanese found a crashed Earhart and Noonan, they would have had substantial motivation to rescue the famous aviators and be hailed as heroes.
