Though she’s been gone for nearly 80 years, fascination with Amelia Earhart’s life, career and mysterious disappearance during her attempted round-the-world flight in 1937 continues to this day.

The film features footage of Earhart being photographed by her official photographer, Albert Bresnik, at Union Air Terminal in Burbank, California (today known as the Bob Hope Airport).
