What really happened to Amelia Earhart?   The so-called solutions to an alleged mystery are pure conjecture, ideal material for Sunday supplement writers. Her family, friends, colleagues and reputable historians all offer the same simple answer. She lost her way on a flight from Lae, New Guinea to Howland Island and died somewhere in the Pacific. The take-off from Lae, New Guinea on one of the most dangerous legs of Amelia’s global flight was shaky at best. The overloaded Electra lumbered down the runway and went airborne only 50 yards before the edge of a cliff, dropped precipitously, then cleared the surface of the ocean by only six feet. But they were off at last. Lae radioman Harry Balfour stayed in contact for 750 miles of the trip. She was still on course and he urged her to maintain the same radio frequency. Then he lost her. The ship Ontario, which was monitoring her from near Howland Island, had neither visual nor radio contact with her, as they had planned. There was a severe squall after midnight that may have slowed or down or pushed her off course

While nobody would accuse Amelia Earhart of being a great poet, the poem above captures the essence of who she was. She lived an adventurous life as a pilot, feminist, social activist, working woman and champion of commercial aviation. She was not going to live a conventional life and became one of the most popular public figures of her day, which marked the beginning of the era of celebrity. And she died doing the thing she loved most – flying, which was her wish. This spectacular writing instrument is comprised of unique, elegant, three-dimensional slate blue and black herringbone celluloid.

Crowning the cap is a .925 sterling silver coin, simulating the nose of one of her aircrafts. In the center of the coin is a piece of fabric from Amelia Earhart’s actual Lockheed Vega 5B wing. The clip is .925 sterling silver and is as streamlined as the wings of her planes. Around the center of the barrel is a .925 sterling silver band with her signature deeply engraved. The sterling silver blind cap has one of her most famous quotes encircling it, which reads, “Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.” A Limited Edition of 388 sterling Fountain Pens and 68 Rollerballs.
