A small cosmetic jar offers more circumstantial evidence that the legendary aviator, Amelia Earhart, died on an uninhabited island in the southwestern Pacific republic of Kiribati.

This is absolutely captivating me lately.  I’m greatly anticipating reading the results from the upcoming expedition to look for her plane off the island of Nikumaroro.

loveyoutakeandmake:

You might find this a bit odd, but I enjoy browsing through old LIFE magazine archives. It’s like being in the past, seeing all those advertisements of those vintage TV’s, (LOTS OF) cigarettes, and Coca-Colas. I am extremely glad for Google Books, since they have a whole archive of LIFE magazines.

Click to browse the:

August 27, 1945 issue

October 15, 1956 issue

March 11, 1957 issue

August 18 1958 issue

Posting more later!
