It's 10 a.m. on July 2, 1937, in Lae, New Guinea. A young airline worker named Alan Board raises his camera as a silver Lockheed Electra thunders down the runway. The plane is so overloaded with fuel that it barely lifts off before the airstrip ends at the sea. Board snaps a photo.
Inside the cockpit is Amelia Earhart, the most famous female pilot on Earth. She has already flown 22,000 miles around the globe, and only 7,000 remain.
Board doesn't know it, but he has just taken the last photograph of this airplane. And hidden inside his photo is the reason Amelia Earhart will never be seen again.
It will take 62 years for anyone to notice.
These are five photos that might finally solve the mystery of Amelia Earhart...
