Flying a Lockheed 10-E Electra, Earhart was trying to become the first female aviator to circle the world when they vanished.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Various theories have since emerged about their fate. One of them suggests Earhart landed instead of crashed, and was marooned on an island where she died. As the Purdue Research Foundation and Archaeological Legacy Institute note, this idea is called the Nikumaroro hypothesis. The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, a nonprofit organization based in Pennsylvania, has <a href=\"https:\/\/tighar.org\/Projects\/Earhart\/AEdescr1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">collected evidence<\/a> it says supports the theory.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A field team plans to travel from the Marshall Islands on Nov. 5 and spend five days inspecting the Taraia Object, the foundation and Archaeological Legacy Institute said in its news release. If the effort confirms the plane&#8217;s identity, excavations will take place next year to try to return what remains of the aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>Earhart worked for Purdue University, and the Purdue Research Foundation helped fund her attempted flight around the world, the news release said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Both Earhart and her\u202fhusband and manager, George Putnam, expressed their\u202fintention to\u202freturn the Electra to Purdue after her\u202fhistoric flight,&#8221; Steven\u202fSchultz, senior\u202fvice president and general counsel of Purdue University, said. &#8220;Based on the evidence, we agree with ALI that\u202fthis expedition\u202foffers\u202fthe best chance\u202fnot only to solve\u202fperhaps\u202fthe greatest mystery of the 20th\u202fcentury, but also to fulfill Amelia&#8217;s wishes\u202fand bring the Electra home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n        <\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/sarah-lynch-baldwin\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Sarah  Lynch Baldwin<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Sarah Lynch Baldwin is a deputy managing editor of CBSNews.com.
