Newly Discovered Footage of Amelia Earhart


Boing Boing posted this item last month about new, never-before-seen footage of Amelia Earhart, purportedly taken as she prepared for her around-the-world flight in which she eventually vanished.  Released in conjunction with a book entitled Amelia Earhart's Last Photo Shoot, the film shows scenes of her personal photographer taking photos of her before the flight.
