Amelia Earhart landing site found?
It was a rare event to walk into a lesbian household in the 1970s and not see a picture of the lost aviator Amelia Earhart displayed somewhere. It's not that we really thought she had been "one of us," but she just looked so good in her soft helmet and pilot's leather jacket.
