<p>The U.S. National Archives on Friday released several batches of records related to the 1937 disappearance of famed aviator Amelia Earhart over the Pacific, following President Donald Trump&#8217;s recent order to declassify and release all such material held by the government.</p>
<p>The release of 4,624 pages of documents, including log books of U.S. military vessels involved in the air-and-sea search for Earhart, was announced by National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard.</p>
<p>Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, were last seen taking off in her twin-engine Lockheed Electra airplane on July 2, 1937, from Papua New Guinea en route to Howland Island, some 2,500 miles (4,000 km) away, during an attempt to fly around the world. Radio contact with the plane was lost hours later after Earhart, 39, reported running low on fuel.</p>
<p>A massive naval search, the most extensive ever at that time, was unsuccessful. Earhart&#8217;s fate remains one of the most enduring mysteries of the past 88 years.</p>
<p>In addition to U.S. Navy and Coast Guard reports about the Earhart search were various memos, newspaper clippings, letters and telegrams.</p>
<p>The correspondence included a letter from a woman claiming she had deduced by mental telepathy that Earhart was still alive, one from a man insisting she was buried in Spain and a series of government telegrams and memos discounting rumors that Earhart had been taken captive by Japanese forces and executed.</p>
<p>The National Archives said more records would be digitized and posted on a rolling basis.</p>
<p>The fate of Earhart and Noonan remains an open question. But researchers from the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery have pieced together evidence suggesting the pair died as castaways on the tiny coral atoll of Nikumaroro, in the Kiribati islands of the western Pacific.</p>
<p>A series of expeditions to that island turned up what appeared to be a jar of anti-freckle cream from the 1930s, bits of clothing, human bone fragments and a pocket knife of the type Earhart carried. A patch of aluminum believed to have come from their plane was also recovered.</p>
<p>In addition, TIGHAR said a sonar image taken from just beyond the shore of the remote atoll revealed what could be a wing or part of the fuselage of Earhart&#8217;s aircraft.</p>
<p>Some 80,000 records pertaining to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy were released on Trump&#8217;s order in March.</p>
