Earhart Photographer Recalls Silent Glamour And Flight

Albert Bresnik recalls Amelia Earhart as an inner loveliness and gallant nature, far surpassing Hollywood stars. As part of Earhart 60th anniversary events in northern California, Bresnik displays rare pre disappearance images from 1932 onward and discusses their book project World Flight. He notes Earhart’s 1928 trans Atlantic voyage with Stultz and Gordon, later solo flights, and a fateful 1932 CBS photography collaboration that shifted when Mantz joined later plans. The tale includes a doctor’s eerie remark about Earhart before her plane vanished and Bresnik’s long storage of many photographs tied to Last Flight.
