Skygirls: A Photographic History of the Airline Stewardess

A high-flying tribute to the lives, careers, and legacies of "stewardesses" (now known as flight attendants), this book answers questions and debunks misconceptions about the first ladies of the sky-from the first days of flight to today's jumbo jets. Featuring more than 200 photographs, which document the early days of the job when airline crewmembers were registered nurses and had to fit certain height and weight criteria, this work showcases how airlines have changed their concept of service over the years. By weaving historical images and documents with firsthand experiences, this book stands as a testament to the immense and lasting influence that flight attendants have had on the world's airlines.
