Editing Amelia Earhart (section)

===Second attempt===

[[File:Amelia Earhart flight route.svg|right|thumb|The planned flight route]]

While the Electra was being repaired, Earhart and Putnam secured additional funds and prepared for a second attempt, in which they would fly west to east. The second attempt began with an unpublicized flight from Oakland to [[Miami]], Florida, and after arriving there, Earhart announced her plans to circumnavigate the globe. The flight's opposite direction was partly the result of changes in global wind-and-weather patterns along the planned route since the earlier attempt.{{citation needed|date=June 2024}}

Manning, the only skilled radio operator, had left the crew, which now consisted of Noonan and Earhart. The pair departed Miami on June 1 and after numerous stops in South America, Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and Southeast Asia, arrived at [[Lae]], [[Territory of New Guinea|New Guinea]], on June 29, 1937. At this stage, about 22,000 miles (35,000&nbsp;km) of the journey had been completed. The remaining 7,000 miles (11,000&nbsp;km) would be over the Pacific.{{citation needed|date=June 2024}}
