What was your experience working as a stewardess like? Was someone famous ever on your flight? Tell us your best memory. Whether you worked for Pan Am, TWA, Delta, or any other airline, share your story with us. The stories of the women in Come Fly the World are just a small slice of stewardess history. Yankee Bookshop (signed & personalized copies available!) How and why they did all this and how it changed them-and the world-is a story that took six years of reporting and writing to complete. If you’ve ever been curious about the life of an international jet-age stewardess, stay tuned: in the pages of this book, women will almost drown off the coast of Liberia and dance all night in Nairobi, get tear-gassed in Vietnam War protests and then fly soldiers into that very war, fight history-making legal battles, doggedly pursue management positions, go on solo trips to incredible places, play “shake the KGB” together in Cold War Moscow, fly into an active war zone knowing only that almost 400 children needed evacuation, and much, much more.
