Thirteen Bones

"Thirteen Bones is fiction, incorporating facts uncovered by The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery--TIGHAR--during twenty years of investigation into Earhart's and Noonan's disappearance. It includes the flurry of telegrams that went between Settlement Scheme Administrator Gerald B. Gallagher and his superiors in Fiji, reporting the discovery and deciding what to do about it. It proposes a geopolitical reason that the British authorities did not report the discovery to the Americans--even though the bones were suspected to be Earhart's"--Page 4 of cover.
