Synopsis
Many books have been written about the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, but Thomas E. Devine is the only eyewitness to write about the subject. With Our Own Eyes presents the never-before-published eyewitness testimony of more than two dozen former GIs who support and corroborate Devine's account establishing Earhart's presence and death on Saipan following her last flight on July 2, 1937.
During the invasion of Saipan in 1944, Thomas Devine was a sergeant in the not-yet-activated 244th Army Postal Unit. Soon after arrival, Devine encountered a group of enlisted Marines at Aslito Field guarding a hangar containing Earhart's Electra. Devine's examination of the Electra and the many statements, reports and letters by others on Saipan at that time weave together the facts missing from other books. Campbell makes a convincing argument and sheds more light on Devine's personal experience and subsequent corroborating testimony from ex-GIs on World War II Saipan.

About the Author
Since the publication of his first book, EYEWITNESS: The Amelia Earhart Incident (Renaissance House 1987), Thomas E. Devine (of West Haven, Connecticut) has continued to chronicle his ongoing efforts to establish his eyewitness claim to the truth about the disap-pearance of Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Frederick J. Noonan, during their around-the-world flight attempt in 1937. For more than fifty years, Thomas E. Devine has labored to bring forth the facts - facts substantiated by the many eyewitness testimonies he has gathered. EYEWITNESS dwarfed everything previously published on the Earhart mystery for credibility and scholarship. Kirkus Reviews called it "An investigative exploration, purporting to solve once and for all the mystery of the record-shattering aviatrix who disappeared somewhere in the Pacific..." Hazel Jones of the Ninety-Nines (International Women Pilots Organization) called Devine's first book "Overpowering in its logic and documentation."
Since publication of EYEWITNESS, Devine has continued his research and correspondence with other eyewitnesses. While on a routine writing assignment, Mike Campbell (of Maryland) met the elder Devine through correspondence. Two years later, Devine agreed to allow Campbell, civilian editor of the monthly Navy Editor Service, to use information he had gathered as the basis for an up-to-date look at Earhart's disappearance — hence With Our Own Eyes. Devine and Campbell found the cooperation of other eyewitnesses who have come forth since 1987 invaluable. More than two dozen ex-GIs have corroborated Devine's account in many and various ways and in a thoroughly convincing manner. Devine's perseverance and refusal to abandon hope despite overwhelming resistance, and Campbell's clear presentation of eyewitness testimony are must reading for anyone interested in the facts surrounding the fate of Amelia Earhart.
