AMELIA EARHART
On July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart flew away from an island called Lae in the South Pacific. Earhart was attempting to circumnavigate the globe. After taking off from Lae, she disappeared. The Superhero Historians will investigate her life, her final flight, and the possible outcomes to that flight.

About halfway through her flight in Africa, Amelia Earhart stopped in the town of D’Jamena. D’Jamena is the capital of Chad. It is a port town, but on the river and not the ocean. In the late 1930’s the population was under 10,000 people. Today the population stands at over a half million people. War comes to D’Jamena pretty often. Most recently it was invaded by rebels on February 2, 2008.
