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 first time I read the book it was my dream was to be a stewardess, after I got out of high school in 72, I became a stewardess for a major airline for 15 years.Now that I have read the book again it brings back some memories that some were true in the book and some I never saw. Over all it was a fun book to read again after my flying experience!
Better than expected. This book was purchased as “used”, and was for a gag gift for a friend, who remembered it from her youth. The paperback (while yellowing a bit) was in astonishing good condition for its’ 40+ years. I was pleased.
