Components of Amelia Earhart's plane might have floated for weeks in the waters of an uninhabited island in the southwestern Pacific republic of Kiribati, according to new analysis of a photograph taken three months after the disappearance of the glamorous aviator on July 2, 1937, during a record attempt to fly around the world at the equator.
Shot by British Colonial Service officer Eric R.

glam·or·ous /ˈglæmərəs/ Show Spelled[glam-er-uhs] Show IPA
adjective
1. full of glamour; charmingly or fascinatingly attractive, especially in a mysterious or magical way.
2. full of excitement, adventure, and unusual activity: the glamorous job of a foreign correspondent.
I believe that they meant glamorous as in # 2 above....celebrated deeds. Not glamorous as in # 1 above....va va va voom.
