Photo analysts at the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research have examined the Bevington photo, taken of the island’s shoreline three months after Earhart’s disappearance (shown zoomed in here). They agree with TIGHAR forensic imaging specialist Jeff Glickman that an object visible in the photo is consistent with Lockheed Installation 40650, one of the main landing gear assemblies on Earhart’s Lockheed Electra Model 10E Special.
