On the 88th anniversary of Amelia Earhart's disappearance, Purdue University announced a joint expedition to locate the pioneer's long lost plane.

Then residing in Massachusetts, Earhart jumped at the opportunity to be the first woman to partake in a transatlantic flight. Although just a passenger on the 1928 adventure led by pilot Wilmer “Bill” Stultz, her subsequent book chronicling the experience catapulted her into the spotlight.

Amelia Earhart's lost plane may have been found, and one expedition aims to answer that question once and for all.
