THE “GOLDEN AGE” OF FLIGHT ATTENDANTS!There was a time when air travel itself was the destination. The airlines were international superstars; even among those long-gone carriers, their still-remembered names can conjure deep feelings of nostalgia, romance, and adventure: Braniff, Continental, BOAC, Swissair, TWA, Pan Am.This was the fifties and sixties. The world was on the move, and it was the new jet planes that were getting people there. But competition for the travel dollar was fierce, and Madison Avenue decided the face (and heart) of every airline would be the flight attendant, the stewardess. So it was that the “stew” became synonymous with the airline’s brand. She—and at that time they were exclusively female—was the airline. The stewardess became the fantasy every woman: glamorous professional, high-end server, customer service expert, nurse, therapist, and in no small measure: sex symbol. And to that end, these women were carefully selected for their looks and brains, then rigorously trained for weeks, and finally dressed as high-flying, high-heeled models in uniforms often created by top fashion designers.Heddy Frosell da Ponte was one of those chosen women. She was the ideal candidate to be employed by Pan Am in the 1960s: a pretty female with a terrific figure, under thirty-two years old, unmarried, and a speaker of multiple languages. The Glamour Years of Flying as a Stewardess is Heddy’s fascinating, often times hilarious collection of exploits as she traveled the world as a stewardess during the golden age of international air travel. This remarkable book is also a rare look back at the people, places, cultures, and lifestyles gone forever, but now brought back to vivid life by a stewardess-turned-author who knows how to tell a fast-moving tale. So buckle up; this will be one flight you’ll never forget."A wonderful slice of yesteryear, a chance to lose yourself for an hour or two, and Heddy Frosell Da Ponte is just the perfect travel guide. Enjoy!"--Chris Hammer, author of Family Can Be Murder (Dysorganized Crime Series), The Devil's Edge, and The Game Changer."Told with a terrific sense of humor and self-deprecation, Heddy Frosell De Ponte's story draws you into a world that should not be forgotten."--Lori Titus, author of Hunting in Closed Spaces (Marradith Ryder Series) and Black Magic Women: Terrifying Tales by Scary Sisters."If you need an uplift, inspiration, or just something to warm your heart, this book is definitely for you!"--Xtina Marie, author of Dark Musings and Collected Christmas Horror ShortsAbout the AuthorHeddy Frosell da Ponte was a flight attendant for forty five years. Now retired, she lives in Georgia. She is also the author of The Frosell Affair.

The Glamour Years of Flying as a Stewardess is a charming and thoroughly entertaining book chronicling what it was like to be a stewardess back in the historic heyday of air travel. Pan Am, that’s right, Pan Am (now Delta). Fasten your seatbelts and get ready to take a flight back in time, back to the gloriously simple days of TV dinners and bouffant hairdos and Life Magazine.Though not a memoir (as stated by the author herself) there are plenty of biographical elements throughout as she shares various accounts from her forty-five years working as a stewardess. The early chapters supply the reader with a solid background, both informational and lifelike, providing essential context and emotional contact points for the later chapters. I found this to enhance the read as I moved deeper into the book. All of which served to heighten the ride (or should I say flight) and fill my mind with vivid colors and a warm and enjoyable three-dimensional experience. Pan Am flight 717 from NY to Paris: Thanks to this book I was there, soaring out over the Atlantic, leaning back in first-class, nibbling Beluga caviar and sipping Veuve Clicquot.The stories and accounts continue as the pages turn and the years pass. I’m old enough to remember these days, to some degree, but I still found the book to be informative, kind of a subconscious stroll through a museum on the topic. For a younger reader, you may find some of the info of that age surprising, if not mildly discomforting, but no less entertaining for it. The accounts are mostly good-natured and uplifting, which was nice. With all that’s going on in the world these days, I found the book a welcome escape from reality. I enjoyed it so much I was actually disappointed when I finished. It was that good!As for the structural elements. The writing is solid, the author has a pleasing voice. Having traits of a good writer, she lets you in while simultaneously staying out of the way. The chapters are sized right and apportioned correct. Editing, layout and design, IMO, all on-point and nicely formatted. Along with the fact that the book comes in at a reasonable price point, in my view, this is easily a five-star book. Highly recommended.
