      No, if you find other clips of her talking her natural speaking voice is much more relaxed. I think she was told to use the accent and read off of cue cards for this interview, which is why she comes off a bit stiff.

    Its sad. For all of her fame, Amelia was actually a mediocre pilot at best. That husband of hers saw her as a meal ticket and milked her for everything she was worth. The Atlantic crossing was sheer dumb luck. Her round the world flight was a last ditch and desperate measure to keep her name in the papers. The Electra had already proven itself. Nothing about that "last flight" was historical in nature. All of the records to be broken had already been broken. The "last flight" was purely a publicity stunt. She spent more time and energy promoting it than preparing for it....so much more that members of the support team preparing for it quit. The crash at Luke Field was proof...she only did one shakedown flight before taking off on her first attempt around the world. Trashed what would be the equivalent of a million dollars in today's money, requiring an additional grant from Purdue for repairs. She didn't even learn to use her radios, despite the fact that it was the radios that were to help her find Howland. She gambled over and over again. Her luck ran out. interesting how she says she would feel more responsible if she had someone with her. She did...the best navigator in the United States. Its heavily documented that she largely ignored him, even to the point where she landed in the wrong country after he told her to turn left and she went right. Sadly, she was a much better celebrity than a pilot and her ego was far bigger than her skill. A lot of people lost their shirts on that flight and Noonans wife was left a widow.

      Earhart was a competent pilot for already 6 years before even meeting her future husband Putnam. She set her first world aviation record (altitude) yet in 1922, participated in different air shows with flying and aerobatics yet in early 20s, and was already known and well respected in the US aviation community by 1927.
      That was an actual reason why she was recommended (by Admiral Belknap) for the 1928 Friendship flight - yet before Putnam ever met her and was impressed by her appearance being similar to Lindbergh's one.
      Many contemporary top class pilots (for example Jackie Cochran, Kelley Johnson, Paul Collins) and other aviation industry professionals who knew Earhart and flew with her expressed high respect to her skills and professionalism. General Leigh Wade who flew with Earhart in 1929 in the new Consolidated plane particularly difficult to handle wrote that Earhart “was a born flier with a delicate touch on the stick”. Meanwhile for Earhart it was her very first flight in that plane. In another case she flew in one day (on the airshow also in 1929) several planes that she never saw before.
      It is easy to kick the dead lion and blame her now, after we know how her last flight actually ended. But there isa lot of what I like to call a "post-factum knowledge syndrome" in such attitude. Since the World Flight ended tragically for a technical reasons that are actually still unknown for sure, it seems unreasonable and unfair to judge about Earhart's (or Noonan's) general competence and skills just on the base of the sole fact of their failure to reach Howland in 1937, especially considering the previous long careers and merits of these two aviation professionals.
      In her 16-year career Earhart never lost aircraft in the air; just for example the great Colonel Lindbergh bailed from a plane at least 4 times. Does it mean that Lindbergh was a bad pilot? Naturally not; it was just totally different period of aviation history, with very different standards of acceptable risks, safety and reliability of the planes and equipment. This is another factor too easily and conveniently forgotten by modern critics of Earhart and other pioneers. While flying in modern safe and comfortable airliners, too many people forgot that there were brave and skillful people who once started it all, took the risks and paid the bloody price for todays safety and comfort, and surely Earhart was one of them.
