	Fred Noonan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Noonan's mother Catherine died when he was four, and three years later a census report lists him as living alone in a Chicago boarding house, although it's likely that relatives or family friends were caring for him.
		Noonan was rumored to be a heavy drinker, but this was fairly common during the era and there is no evidence it ever interfered with his reliability or accuracy as a navigator.
		Noonan was probably attracted to the project because Earhart's mass market fame would almost certainly generate huge publicity, which in turn could reasonably be expected to attract attention to him and the navigation school he hoped to establish when they returned.

		Noonan, on a flight from New Guinea to Howland Island in the mid-Pacific, made a crash landing near the shore of Mili, an atoll in the Marshall Islands.
		Noonan was a noted alcoholic who had professed a wish to overcome his addiction when he was given the honor of accompanying her, but had forgot it long before they reached New Guinea.
		It is surely obvious why nothing was heard from Noonan during the flight and why Amelia Earhart was so inept and seemingly scatter-brained in her communications to the "Itasca." Her navigator was presumably counting the pink elephants that were cavorting so oddly on the wings.

	The pain 'doesn't go away' - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
		For Patrick Noonan, chairman emeritus of the Conservation Fund, the Virginia nonprofit handling land acquisition for the planned Flight 93 memorial, the pitch is personal.
		Noonan lost his daughter, Karen Elizabeth, in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, killing 270.
		Noonan, an early proponent of the American Farmland Trust, founded the Conservation Fund in 1985.

		Frederick J. Noonan was issued limited commercial pilot certificate 11833 with ratings airplane single engine land, dated January 23, 1930.
		Between the comparison of skull measurements with scaled photos of Earhart's and Noonan's heads, and a modern assessment of the reliability of Hoodless's estimates, we should be able to get a better picture of the liklihood, or unliklihood, that the bones found on Niku belonged to either of our friends.
		He was born Frederick Joseph on April 4, 1893 as his maritime records indicate.

		Little known is the fact that Earhart's navigator Frederick Noonan also disappeared in their 1937 flight.
		Noonan's surviving relatives have balked at the idea of subjecting his soon-to-be-exhumed remains to a polygraph test.
		Through his lawyer he called the allegations that he had something to do with Earhart's disappearance preposterous, saying that it is "physically impossible" for the two to have had a relationship since she vanished years before he was even born.

	The Noonan Project
		It has traditionally been held that Frederick J. Noonan was born in Chicago in 1894, but if that is true, the fact somehow escaped the notice of the 1900 U.S. Census.
		Sandy Campbell found a Fred Noonan born in Warren Co., Illinois in 1899, but his middle initial was C. A birth certificate uncovered by Jackie Ferrari of Fifeshire, Scotland now leads us to suspect that Earhart's navigator is the Frederick Joseph Noonan born July 14, 1891 in Norwich, England, to Joeseph and Clara Greenfield Noonan.
		The Noonan Project team has also established that Fred married his first wife, Josie M. Sullivan, on July 11, 1927 in Jackson, Mississippi and was divorced from her in Juarez, Mexico on March 3, 1937.

		On Saipan, the Japanese soon executed Noonan, who seems to have placed some reliance on the fact that he was a White man and did not realize how far the Americans had already gone in making themselves contemptible in the eyes of other races.
		The aviatrix was held in a mild captivity, permitted her liberty on the island, but, of course, prevented from leaving it.
		Noonan was indeed deplorable and will excite compassion in every "Aryan" heart.

		They argue, for example, that Earhart couldn't have run out of gas because she had about four hours of fuel in her tank at the time her plane disappeared.
		They also report that there was no evidence that her navigator Frederick Noonan--one of the best in the world at the time--had a drinking problem.
		Nor is there proof she was a spy, or taken prisoner.

		Their intended destination was Howland Island, a flat sliver of land 2000 meters long and 500 meters wide, 10feet high and 2556 miles away.
		The U.S. Coast Guard cutter USCGC Itasca was on station at Howland, assigned to communicate with Earhart's Lockheed Electra 10E and guideher to the island once she arrived in the vicinity.
		Through a series of misunderstandings or errors (the details of which are still controversial) the final approach to Howlandusing radio navigation was never accomplished, although vocal transmissions by Earhart indicated she and Noonan believed they hadreached Howland's charted position (which was incorrect by about five nautical miles) over scattered clouds.

	Amelia Earhart
		The frequencies Earhart was using were not well suited to direction finding (in fact, she had left behind the lower-frequency reception and transmission equipment which might have enabled Itasca to locate her), and the reception quality of her transmissions was poor.
		Earhart and Noonan's fate has been the subject of many rumors and allegations which were never substantiated.
		A few hours before their estimated arrival time Noonan calculated a "sun line," but without a successful, radio-frequency range calculation, a precise "fix" on the plane's location could not be established.
