In old romantic comedy.
The plane legendary pilot Amelia Earhart was flying when she disappeared over the Pacific has been discovered … in a 1936 Clark Gable film. Discovery News reports researchers with the International Group of Historic Aircraft Recovery—or TIGHAR—recently spotted Earhart's Lockheed Electra—given away by the registration number on its wing—in the 1936 film Love on the Run. It appears even official Earhart biographers were unaware of the famous plane's star turn. In the film, the Lockheed carrying Gable and Joan Crawford narrowly avoids running into a crowd of spectators during a rocky takeoff. You can watch the scene here.
