The Tripartite Pact of the Axis Berlin-Rome-Tokyo would only be signed at the end of September, 1940. While the Second World War had been under way, the American female aviator Amelia Earhart [7] was the first woman to attempt a flight to circumnavigate the globe above the Equator. Her route and fuel provisioning have been planned by the US Army. She was supposed to fly over Marshall Islands, for which Japan had received a mandate from the League of Nations, when she disappeared from radio radars on the 2nd of July, 1937. The same year on the 24th August Katja Bottemanne was born in Batavia (currently Jakarta, Java Island, the former Dutch East Indies). In her lifetime, Katja Cavagnac inspired an editorial-fiction, a dedication, to be published in the online review #4 of www. criticalsecret.com at the beginning of 2001. On the 25th of January, 2015, she passed away. The editorial has since become a tale intended as a double dedication and, maybe, an epitaph.
She was my friend. Rest In Peace, Katja. My inspired and inspiring friend. The tale into English and French http://www.criticalsecret.net/pour-katja-cavagnac-la-hollandaise-volante-the-flying-dutch-girl,165.html#eng Actually I have dedicated her a section in our blog. http://www.criticalsecret.net/-tribute_to-katja-bottemanne-cavagnac,054-.html The section has 3 items. Two of them are waiting for good translations to come as soon as possible. The first one in a sort of biography. The last one in a sort of research thanks to online English and Dutch sources, following testimonies from her children, on the Japanese occupation of Java--at the time of the Netherlands East Indies-- during WW II. Currently her daughter Céline Cavagnac is a musicologist and a violin virtuoso specializing in Baroque music. Her son Romain Cavagnac is Head Production at Wanda France. Guy Cavagnac her husband is a director and as a producer specially known inter alia for the first productions of Chantal Akerman. That her inspiration remains with us. Aliette via Louise PS / If somebody from The Netherlands knows plus on WW II in Java and may be on her father Casper Josephus Bottemanne (1900 - 1960). Please tell me. Anyway I wish you a good journey. -- http://www.criticalsecret.com http://www.criticalsecret.net http://www.criticalsecret.org Podcast thématique http://www.criticalsecret.com/n15/index.php ______________________________________________ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre
