These are the last images of aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart as she prepared for her round-the-world flight during which she mysteriously disappeared.
Among the pictures is one of the Lockheed Electra 10E, the plane that was used for her doomed circumnavigation attempt in 1937.
She is also poignantly captured packing for the journey and getting her hair cut at a barber's shop in Miami.

One interesting bit of history: Lae, New Guinea later became a Jap airbase in WWII. Their ace Saburo Sakai flew out of there on missions to Port Moresby and over the Solomon Islands. Sakai tells his story in his book Samurai.

Was this the story that said her and the copilot were beheaded?

Not specifically in this story, although that is one of a few theories about what happened to them.

Have they authenticated the recently found wreckage in the Solomons as Earhart’s?

No one cares any more. You must be one of those "New Americans", doomed to repeat history.

Thinking people care very much about history. Jersey Shore watcher types not so much.
I am hoping that since you post here, you are in the first category.

Interesting. The whole story is interesting. I have a picture of her stepping onto the wing of her plane, my fatherIL called her name, she turned around and he snapped a great picture.
It is very cool.

It is worthless, smack offs like this who ignore the extraordinary accomplishments of the true achievers.

A mind raised on spongebob squarepants sees the world as a bikini bottoms and themselves and others as, not much more that cartoon figures.
