Note: By scrolling down one can observe many
comparison examples revealing the congruence between Amelia Earhart and the Gervais-Irene, and the plural Irenes reality
discovery. It is important to realize how the famous pilot, Viola Gentry was not only good friends with Amelia Earhart
in the 1930s, but she was later good friends with the Gervais-Irene after World War Two as well. Was it possible Viola
had two friends from two different eras who head-to-toe looked so much alike? Of course not. Take a look. It is all too
obvious anymore (official silence protection or not) that the Gervais-Irene was the survived, name-changed 'Amelia Earhart.'
A Quote From The Associated Press About This Analysis: "The Forensic studies are very convincing. She [Irene]
was not an ordinary housewife as she claimed. She was influential, knew many well placed people and was well traveled."
John Bolam discusses his late sister-in-law, Irene Craigmile Bolam (the Gervais-Irene) while referring to Tod Swindell's
Beyond 37' Forensic Analysis progress in a 2002 article by Ron Staton. Mr. Bolam, an American citizen was the survived brother
of Irene's British husband, Guy Bolam. He described his older brother Guy (shown below-right in 1965) as a past owner of Radio
Luxembourg who was 'previously linked to England's MI6 program.'

Study; A head-to-toe comparison of Amelia Earhart & Viola Gentry (shown above in 1932) with the Gervais-Irene
(below, shown in Paris in 1965) added. It was no coincidence how Viola would be associated with individuals who shared a head
to toe physical congruence, to also include the same character traits. After it was realized more than one person had used
the Irene Craigmile identity, so much confirmed how the Gervais-Irene used to be known as Viola's 1930s friend, 'Amelia Earhart':

Note: (As seen on the home page.) To
true experts it is obvious anymore, while still protected by official silence, Amelia Earhart lived on to change her
name to 'Irene Craigmile.' [She was ultimately one of three different individuals who employed the same 'Irene Craigmile'
identity.] Below: A Gervais-Irene/Amelia Earhart handwriting comparison,
with the Gervais-Irene veritably admitting she was 'known' as both Irene and Amelia. Referencing two individuals,
famous pilot Viola Gentry and Early Birds of Aviation President, Elmo Pickerill she wrote "because they each knew us
both well as Amelia Earhart and Irene Craigmile."

[Note: In 2006 The National Geographic Channel
omitted the new gained reality of 'three different women' having used the same 'Irene' identity. It also did not mention how
the Gervais-Irene who matched Amelia from head to toe, only appeared identified as 'Irene' from the mid-1940s to 1982. The
Irene Craigmile seen directly below was the original Irene, a past friend of Amelia's who was the actual person to have ended
up 'missing' all those years ago. The former Amelia re-applied her gone friend's identity to herself during the WWII era for
the sake of her future anonymity in the United States. As her long time friend Monsignor James Francis Kelley described after
she died in 1982, she "didn't want to be Amelia Earhart anymore" due to all she had been through. What became of
the original Irene Craigmile remains a mystery unto itself. As well, 'official silence' notwithstanding, there is no doubt
anymore how in the 1930s and prior to, the Gervais-Irene had been world famously known as 'Amelia Earhart.']

Below: A few excerpts from the comprehensive
Beyond 37' Forensic Analysis endorsed by investigative researchers Joe Gervais and Rollin Reineck. The study was originally
conceived and arranged by historical researcher and filmmaker, Tod Swindell. The samples shown here represent a mere portion
of the overall study; one that includes full head to toe body comparisons, published photos of the different individuals the
study discovered to have employed the same Irene Craigmile Bolam identity, and handwriting and voice comparisons further aligning
the Gervais-Irene with Amelia. It is also recommended to look at the 'Closer Comparison of Eyes and Faces' link.

The nose difference evidenced itself as a common
'deviated septum rhinoplasty' procedure. So much slightly flattened it to widen the passages. The upper nose bridge appeared
thinned by skin tucking, so from straight on her brow ridge looked a bit more furrowed. Human I.D. forensic qualifiers such
as DNA, dental records, and fingerprints solve cases where 'missing-person' body evidence is deemed plausible. But the Irene-Amelia
case was very unusual. The enormous amount of forensic research data supporting the Gervais claim, (to later include the Irene
'shared identity' discovery) made it all but impossible, or irresponsible to simply ignore the controversy. Many self-proclaimed
'Amelia Earhart research authorities' tried their best to deride the Gervais equation, (and still do) mostly because they
found it hard to believe Amelia would opt out of her public life.

By now it is fair to calculate how the former Amelia
Earhart had been working with the family of the original Irene Craigmile, and how she had confided in, and worked with some
of her past friends to include her own Sister Muriel in an effort to successfully change her identity. She did it to any more
avoid the attention her world fame always attracted. She also, evidently, worked with the Catholic Church and the ZONTA organization
in order to get it done right. Meanwhile post-WWII United States, Japan, and England official history divisions took a "let's
close a blind eye to it" approach, in order for the former Amelia Earhart to achieve the future non-famous person status
she desired.

Again, this was all done to secure the former Amelia
Earhart's further desired non-public person status. The final equation revealed Amelia Earhart to have been a good friend
and ZONTA sister of the original Irene Craigmile's Aunt, a well known lawyer by the name of Irene Rutherford O'Crowley. The
O'Crowley's were a prominent Irish Catholic family. Yet the original Irene Craigmile, although close to Amelia in age was
never well known, and she had endured a troubled life as an only child after losing her Mother at young age. Her Father, Joe
O'Crowley allegedly became an alcoholic after the original Irene's Mother died, leaving the original Irene to be taken in
and further raised by her Aunt (Amelia's future attorney friend) and her paternal Grandmother Sarah O'Crowley, all of the
Newark, New Jersey area. (continued below)

After she gave birth to her
Son in 1934 the original Irene no longer appeared. Records of her past existence were obfuscated for any future public referencing,
and the short marriage she endured with her Son's Father, Al Heller was legally annulled by 1940. Meanwhile Amelia Earhart
had turned up 'missing' in 1937. Notably, if the original Irene Craigmile Heller died at some point (for instance as a result
of post-childbirth complications) there appeared to be no record of such a thing having happened. However, apparently it was
the case that the original person known as Irene Craigmile in the 1930s who Amelia had known, was a person who actually did
disappear at some point after she gave birth to her son in 1934, and she was never seen again. It is certain the former Amelia
Earhart, during the time adjacent to the World War Two era, assumed the original Irene Craigmile's still extant ID value for
her own future use in order to live further in anonymity. This, while she also continued with helping to raise of the original
Irene Craigmile's Son, and her own Canadian born daughter from 1924 no one knew of who had also been taken in by the O'Crowley
family after Amelia suddenly became famous in 1928. Mr. Swindell's research states it is the younger (mid-twenties) and then
older version (age fifty-eight in 1982) of Amelia's non-recognized birth daughter featured in the bottom middle in the photo
section on this page. He points to Lloyd Royer, one of two men besides George Putnam to have proposed to Amelia, as the likely
Father. A highly controversial assessment to be sure, this too remains to be disproved. The bottom line is, the true identity
of the woman featured on the cover of Irene Bolam's 1982 Memorial Dinner program... has never been authoritatively revealed...
either by still living O'Crowley or Earhart family relatives, or by some other entity whom does know who she really was, or
still is. * * *

About the
reality of the Irene-Amelia equation....?
"Of course it's reality. But the whole idea was to sidestep reality, or to help
'invent' a solid mystery following the lead of official silence. And they
succeded in doing it. The Smithsonian and the National Geographic Society dismiss the Irene-Amelia truth. They've even campaigned
against it. All official institutions dismiss all Earhart mystery solving claims,
not just the 'she survived and changed her name' final verdict. Notice how anything seen on television about Earhart always
ends with, 'but it's most likely Earhart and Noonan crashed and sank.' The simple reason, the Smithsonian realized no choice
but to support the mystery always, as opposed to supporting a conclusion. Even though
all of the data shows it to be obvious Amelia lived on to use the name of a past friend ...who was the real person
to have disappeared long ago, the Smithsonian especially, paid for and run by Uncle Sam, knows everyone from the news media
to college professors will always follow its 'official word' lead. About the
Irene connection, it has swayed the public into believing 'maybe it's not so obvious,
maybe it's all a big coincidence.' It's really about gullibility too. No one wants to doubt that kind of authority.
You risk sticking yourself out like a sore thumb, or you know, embarrassment. At the same time those sporting real courage
always stand by the truth." Joe Gervais, 2001

late USAF Major Joseph A. Gervais (1924-2005) and the late USAF Col. Rollin C. Reineck (1920-2007). Both were World War Two
heroes who learned the basic Irene-Amelia truth decades ago. Major Gervais, who was considered by many to have been the most
devoted Amelia Earhart researcher ever having pursued the mystery since 1960, discovered the Irene-Amelia reality in
1965. The controversial 1970 McGraw-Hill book by Joe Klaas, Amelia Earhart Lives expounded on the enormous amount of
Joe Gervais' investigative research, and displayed the first nationally published photo of Irene Bolam, AKA the Gervais-Irene.
Fallout the Amelia Earhart Lives book caused notwithstanding, and still lacking
official authoritative guidance, Colonel Reineck spent the last several years of his life trying to advance the Gervais
claim of Earhart's name-changed survival to authenticity. Colonel Reineck's book Amelia Earhart Survived published in
late 2003, was partly inspired by the Irene-Amelia forensic studies of Beyond 37's Tod Swindell. Several portions of the analysis
appeared in the Reineck book, although more samples are better displayed in this website. [Beyond 37' was formed in 2001 by
