Required to have a college education, speak two languages, and possess the political savvy of a Foreign Service officer, a jet-age stewardess serving on iconic Pan Am between 1966 and 1975 also had to be between 5â²3" and 5â²9", between 105 and 140 pounds, and under 26 years of age at the time of hire. Cooke's intimate storytelling weaves together the real-life stories of a memorable cast of characters as they embraced the liberation of their new jet-set life.
What The Reviewers Say
... an engaging work of cultural history.
... fascinating.
Thoughtful, well-researched and utterly engaging, Come Fly the World is smart escapist journalism and a tribute to hundreds of women who were much more than just a crew of pretty faces..
Much of Cooke’s engaging narrative focuses on the unheralded role of these women during the Vietnam War.
