Remember when flying was glamorous and sexy, even fun When airline food was gourmet, everyone dressed up for a flight, and stewardesses catered to our every need-at least in our imaginations This classic memoir by two audaciously outspoken young ladies, who lived and loved the free-spirited stewardess life, jets you back to those golden days of air travel-from the captain who's as subtle as a 747 when he's on the make to the passenger who mistakes the overhead luggage rack for an upper berth; from the names of celebrities who were a pleasure to serve (and some surprising notables on the "bad guy" list) to the origins of some naughty stereotypes-Spaniards are the best lovers, actors the most foul-mouthed. This huge bestseller, a First Class jet-age journal, offers a hilarious gold mine of outrageous anecdotes from the high-flying and amorous lives of those busty, lusty, adventuresome young women of the swinging '60s known as "stews."
"The kind of book that's a nuisance to own. Everyone wants to borrow it." (Look)
Donald Bain, Jessica Fletcher's longtime collaborator, is the writer of over eighty books, many of them bestsellers.
