Amelia Earhart Last Trip Footnote

I never knew before that Amelia Earhart did a stop in Bandung after a flight from Bangkok in her last flight, the attempt to encircle the globe: http://acepilots.com/earhart2.html. It's rather surprising and not-so-surprising at the same time.

I have known for several years that the Netherland/Dutch East Indies Government (now Indonesia) did try to establish aviation "center" in Bandung despite its rather bad location (sorrounded by mountains, Bandung was prehistoric lake long ago).
