American aviatrix Amelia Earhart, right, and her husband,
publisher George Putnam, talk over plans for Earhart's second
attempt to fly around the world. They are in a hangar where
Earhart's plane Electra is being prepared for flight in Miami,
Fla., May 29, 1937. Famed aviator Amelia Earhart and her
navigator, Fred Noonan, pose in front of their twin-engine
Lockheed Electra in Los Angeles at the end of May 1937, prior to
their historic flight in which Earhart was attempting to become
first female pilot to circle the globe. A clear plastic shard
found on Nikumaroro island matches the thickness and curvature
of the Lockheed Electra windows. American aviatrix Amelia
Earhart arrives in Southampton, England, after her transatlantic
flight on the "Friendship" from Burry Point, Wales, on June 26,
1928. The tri-motor "Friendship" was piloted by two men as
Earhart served as the commander, making her the first female to
fly across the Atlantic. This undated photo provided by the
