Amelia Earhart
FLASHBACK: Vanity Fair, 1931
Thoroughly modern Amelia: America's golden aviatrix—looking as brighteyed and breezy as a Perry Ellis model—photographed by Steichen soon after her marriage to publisher George P. Putnam and just before her solo flight across the Atlantic. In Amelia Earhart: The Final Story, published this month by Random House, Vincent Loomis provides exhaustive evidence, partly the testimony of native witnesses, that Earhart and her navigator were captured by Japanese troops in the Marshall Islands and died as P.O. W.'s.
