America's High-Flying, Jet-Age Stewardesses - The Untold Story
Come Fly The World is a captivating and inspiring read for those who are interested in the untold stories of female pioneers who overcame the societal norms of their time to break into a male-dominated industry. The author, Julia Cooke, takes readers on a journey through the lives of memorable characters, such as Lynne Totten, a small-town girl who became a stewardess to escape the confines of the lab, and Hazel Bowie, one of the few black stewardesses of the era. The book sheds light on the real-life experiences of stewardesses and their role in the Vietnam War – from transporting soldiers to R&R destinations to aiding in the dramatic evacuation of children during the fall of Saigon. It is a reminder of the bravery and determination of women in a time when societal expectations were very different.
