Tune in to an all new episode of AMERICA IN COLOR, focusing on the 1930s on Sunday, July 9 at 8 PM on Smithsonian Channel to see footage colorized for the first time of Amelia Earhart’s final moments before take-off on her journey around the world.
Nearly 80 years ago, Amelia Earhart embarked on her record-setting flight to circumnavigate the globe, an incomplete journey believed to have been her last before she mysteriously disappeared into the Pacific Ocean. A recently discovered photograph from the National Archives suggests that Earhart and her flight navigator, Fred Noonan, may have survived a crash-landing. Smithsonian Channel’s AMERICA IN COLOR: THE 1930s shows the never-before-seen colorized footage of Earhart before setting off from a Burbank, California airstrip to fly around the world. What was thought to have been her final moments on land has now been put into question as experts claim that the photograph shows Earhart and Noonan alive on a dock in the Marshall Islands.
