This year marked the 75th anniversary of Amelia Earhart's disappearance. Next time on KPR Presents, we travel back in time to 1937 to visit with Amelia Earthart just prior to her ill-fated trip around the world, brought to life by historian Ann Birney of Admire, Kansas. We'll also visit with author Jane Mendelsohn, author of I Was Amelia Earhart, a fantasy novel about Earhart's life marooned on a desert island, and with author Candace Fleming, author of Amelia Lost, a new children's biography that was named a 2012 Kansas Notable Book.
