Yeah I normally don't give stuff away I paid money for.....I have to really like someone for that to happen. I salute your Dad. I like to hear stories from guys who used quads in action. Not too long ago I had a visit from a vet that shot down an ME-109 with a M15 with the dual .50's and 37mm autocannon. He said he could hear it coming down the valley his way and knew exactly what it was from the engine sound. He put a 37mm round just in front of the cockpit and the guy went straight in.

Well. That's a coincidence. The guys who provide ocean-going survey vessels and remotely operated submarines--they expect to be paid for the stuff that costs them money. Weird, huh?
Anyway. Dad was Korean Era. His unit was anti-aircraft but ended up using the quad 50s for anti-personnel. He calls it a "devastating weapon." I believe him.
The half-track mounted 37mm auto is new to me. I'll check that out! Thank you. Would not want to get hit with one of those...

Is there some descendant of the Earhart family that could be used for a comparison?

As noted above the bones were lost.
DNA didn't come into play until 1986.
Amelia's sister Grace Muriel Earhart Morrissey gave a DNA sample. She was the only member of Amelia's family left and she died in 1998.
Fred Noonan had no siblings, so no DNA samples have come from his family.
