Product Description Angela Waller, who was an air hostess in the 1950s and 1960s, when it was considered a glamorous and highly sought-after job, tells everything you ever wanted to know about what went on in the golden age of passenger flying. In this fascinating book, she shares her experiences and tells stories from the hilarious to the harrowing, the factual to the funny, about the famous and the gossip. And she tells how very different things were, back in the those days before there were trolley dollies.
What a delight to read about the good old days of the 1950s and 1960s, when Flight Attendants really did put their passengers first! They were all kinder than in this century. Flying, especially abroad, was an adventure! Those were happier and safer days, long before hijacks and terrorism. Props were slower than jets. Every flight was special. No in-flight movies, so the cabin crew could not hide away from the travellers! A well written, descriptive book by a good-natured and well-informed British former stewardess turned author. Good proof-reading was a bonus.
I loved every word of the tales that Angela shared in this book, alternately funny and gripping. I was thoroughly entertained and impressed with the clever diplomacy and skills of the air hostesses in those early days. Most interesting to me, however, having grown up shunning anything to do with "geography," I found myself fascinated by her descriptions of trips to Bombay, Paris, Khartoum, Kenya, Nairobi, Spain....I will most surely make those trips with Angela again -- when I re-read the book from time to time!
