Amelia Earhart receives what proved to be her last haircut in 1937.

On July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart, 39, accompanied by navigator Fred Noonan, tried to reach California after taking off from New Guinea aboard a twin-engine Lockheed Electra. It was the last stage of a world tour going East, at the equator. She had planned to land on the Howland Island to refuel. A few hours after take-off, she announced in a final radio message that she could not locate the island and “fuel running out.” Then nothing. Despite a search, no trace of the aircraft was ever detected.
