David has a theory that just seems highly unlikely.

The fact that Amelia after 19hrs of flying had contacted the radio operators aboard the Itasca which could clearly hear her transmission puts her atleast within the area.
She reported she was flying along the 157 radial from Howland Island again puts her in the area and they had overflown Nukumanu Island which puts them on course for Howland Island.

For her to be in New Britain where David says the wreck is puts her 2,000nm away.
How is this possible?
Just not a strong case again more likely she landed within the area of crashed at sea.
