Glamour in the Skies is the first book to celebrate the stewardesses of British Airways & their predecessors from 1936 to 1980, widely agreed to be the golden age of air travel
- a time which personified optimism, excitement & a feeling of boundless opportunity for both passengers & airline crew. The air hostess, as she was known initially, began her British career in a one-engine propeller plane crossing the English Chan-nel & ended up in Boeing 747 jets & the supersonic Concorde. Ex-hostess Libbie Escolme-Schmidt combines history with hundreds of surveys & interviews from re-tired & current cabin crew, enabling the reader to follow the development of the role of the stewardess through the early years of discrimination to her present-day career equality. During this period flying evolved from a potentially dangerous adventure to a remarkably safe & comfortable means of international travel & through it all the air hostesses were there. Their appearance changed over the years, from the 1940s military look to the mini-skirts of the 1960s, & the caring mother figure to the sexy corporate prod-uct, as the role was glamorised to almost iconic status, becoming a dream career for millions of young women worldwide. Glamour in the Skies is packed with many anecdotes, ranging from administering oxygen to passengers flying over the Andes, to serving French champagne on Concorde. Covering training, sexual discrimination, disasters, passengers, glamorous stopovers & other temptations, this illustrated book presents the changing times in air travel through the eyes of the stewardess & offers the perfect tribute to the girls who walked the skies. This fabulous, richly illustrated history of air travel from the 1940s to the 1980s revels in the glamour, the romance
