Navigator Fred Noonan accompanied Earhart on her second attempt to circumnavigate the world from west to east, following an equatorial path. The two disappeared 22,000 miles into their journey after taking off from Lae, New Guinea, enroute to Howland Island in the central Pacific. No confirmed trace of them or their plane has ever been found. Noonan was an accomplished sea captain and marine navigator. He took up flying after a long maritime career, and charted commercial airline routes across the Pacific for Pan Am.
