Amelia Earhart’s bones have been found, and did the misunderstanding of the markings cause the loss of this pilot?

One of the most well known lost pilot Amelia Earhart’s (1897-1937) bones had been found in 1940’s at some island in Pacific area. The question of this case has been actually, why Earhart was lost on why her airplane was dropped or why this woman made an emergency landing in 1937 when she tried to do the first around the world flight, what was made by the woman. This case has been kept open because the historians wanted to know, what dropped this 39 years old woman from the sky? There was nobody, who even thought that Earhart could be alive in 1937. But the thing what made this story so remarkable was, that Earhart or her map reader Noonan didn’t send any emergency call in that night. Did the misunderstanding with the markings of this aircraft models XC-36 and E.10 cause the accident?

The airplane what Earhart used in that adventure was quite new. It was Lockheed Electra E.10. One model of this airplane (XC-35) had the pressurized cabin, what allowed high altitude flight. And this plane had the capacity to fly above the weather. The reason, why the emergency call would not send might be that there were became the hole in the pressure cabin, but in Wikipedia were not mentioned was this pressurized cabin installed one plane in this Electra E.10 series. And did Earhart just misunderstand that every one of those planes had the pressurized cabin, and this could cause danger situation in the air? I have read interesting theory about this plane’s role in the accident of Amelia Earhart. It is so unbelievable that nobody actually believes that. It goes that maybe Earhart was misunderstood that she had in the use this XC-35 model, what has the pressurized cabin,

And then she just rises too high, and then those pilots were unconscious If the pilot misunderstands the maximum safe flying altitude was higher than in the real plane, the situation might turn dangerous. If Earhart climbed too high for glide from the skies, that could be the reason for this accident. In this theory, Earhart was planned to climb very high, and glide part of the trip, because that allows flying far ahead to the island, where would be luxuries for those tired pilots. This was caused the accident and death of those two pilots. This Lockheed Electra E.10 was also used for developing the military model C.36B or UC-36B. But in some case
Some other people believe that the death of Earhart was an attentate, what was made Mafia or German intelligence. The first case was that somebody would want her insurance money and the second one was that German military intelligence wanted the high flight technology what was used in this plane. Or maybe Earhart just miscalculated something, and that was caused the leak of fuel. But why she didn’t send the emergency call is the thing what makes this thing interesting.
