Amelia Earhart

(Reuters) – A team of researchers trying to solve the mystery of aviator
Amelia Earhart’s 1937 disappearance said on Friday that underwater
video from a Pacific island has revealed a field of man-made debris
that could be remnants of her plane.

The footage was collected in July by The International Group for Historic
Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) during a $2.2 million expedition to Nikumaroro
in the Republic of Kiribati.

Country/pop singer Jim Reeves, whose biggest hit was 1960’s "He’ll Have
To Go", was killed when the small plane he was piloting crashed near
Nashville. He was 39. Dean Manuel, Reaves’ piano player-road manager,
was also killed in the crash. After Reaves’ death, his widow continued to
release his material well into the 1980s.

Idlewild Field

President Harry S. Truman helped dedicate Idlewild Field — the airfield that would become John F. Kennedy International Airport. Idlewild Field was named after the
golf course it replaced. The airport went through several name changes before it
was officially changed to JFK one month after the president was assassinated.
