Though the exact circumstances of her death are still an unsolved mystery, pioneering female pilot Amelia Earhart disappeared over the Pacific Ocean along with her navigator Fred Noonan in 1937. Two years later, she was officially declared dead at the age of 41. The Navy and Coast Guard had conducted an unprecedented and costly weekslong search for Earhart and her plane after she went missing. Other losses that year include neurologist and pioneering psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, basketball inventor James Naismith, steel magnate Charles M. Schwab and Pope Pius XI.
