There's no politics here, just an interesting story that could re-write a slice of American history. Investigators from the National Archives have revealed a formerly top-secret photograph that appears to show Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, on Jaluit Atoll in the Marshall Islands - sometime after their historic, ill-fated, flight.
For years, people have assumed that Earhart's plane crashed and its occupants were either killed in the incident, or survived to spend the rest of their lives on a deserted island. If the people in the photo are indeed Earhart and Noonan, it would re-write that scenario - giving it an even darker ending. It seems the flight may have been blown off course, and they were captured by the Japanese - eventually perishing as alleged spies in a Saipan internment camp.
Here's the report, and the reveal of the photo, from the Today show.
