re: Amelia Earhart on History channel

Two more questions:
1. Who took the photograph and why? It seems unlikely that the Japanese authorities would have taken that picture, and even less likely that a foreigner would be allowed to be taking pictures willy nilly on a military installation.
2. Where is the security detail? There is not a soldier or sailor in sight. It seems unlikely that any westerner, prisoner or not, would not have a security escort of some type.
As far as I am concerned, the western man in the photograph could be just about anyone. The person with their back to the camera is probably not even a woman.

A Japanese military history buff has found library records showing a photo supposedly depicting Amelia Earhart survived a crash landing in 1937 was actually published two years before the famous aviator vanished.

But a Japanese military history blogger, who goes by @baron_yamaneko on Twitter, found evidence the photo predated Earhart's famous disappearance. The History Channel is aware of the evidence and says it is investigating.
In an English-language post, the blogger explains that "the photograph was first published in Palau under Japanese rule in 1935, in a photo book ... So the photograph was taken at least two years before Amelia Earhart disappear[ed] in 1937 and a person on the photo was not her."
The photo book in question was digitized and published online by Japan's National Diet Library. The publication date is listed in the traditional Japanese style as "Showa 10" — that is, 1935.
The blogger also identifies the ship in the image as the Koshu, which the Japanese seized in World War I, rather than the Koshu Maru, which was launched in 1937.

Good stuff. I'd like to find out if that pic is actually in the National Archives like the retired Federal agent alleges, and if true how he happened to come across it in his search for more evidence of the Marshall Island theory.
The pic succeeded in bringing new attention to the theory, and will probably turn off many to the theory. Without that pic, the theory still exists, as it has for decades.

Bingo. The picture DOES NOT contain her.

The only thing I got from this is that the Government hides things. Well no shite. There is so much more that we do not or will not ever know about.

More Fake News from CNN here
Apparently it took the Japanese historian about 30 minutes to debunk the photo. It's from a 1935 travel book, a couple of years before the flight.
He wonders why the History Channel didn't contact anyone over there. Does he even History Channel bro?
