No -- Amelia Earhart was an accomplished aviatrix, an American heroine, and a celebrity world wide. By the time of her disappearance she had amassed sixteen world records -- half not because she was a woman.

A half century later however, there was a controversy because of eye-witness testimony that she may have been spying for the US Govt.

Amelia Earhart was not a spy, she was a decoy.
