Description
In the 1960s, Pan Am caters to international adventurers seeking luxury and style in the open sky, with an iconic crew of blue-suited stewardesses leading the way. Young, ambitious women from around the world come to Pan Am for the significant perks: greater independence, financial security, and—sometimes—the freedom to choose their next destination. But these newfound freedoms come at the price of working for an employer with some questionable ethics and hiring requirements.
These are the personal stories of Pan Am’s fleet of celebrated stewardesses in their heyday—from providing luxury flights to the rich and famous to supporting American GIs during the Vietnam War—when not even the sky itself was the limit.
