Cooke's intimate storytelling weaves together the real- life stories of a memorable cast of characters, from small -town girl Lynne Totten, a science major who decided life in a lab was not for her, to Hazel Bowie, one of the relatively few Black stewardesses of the era, as they embraced the liberation of their new jet-set life. Cooke brings to light the story of Pan Am stewardesses' role in the Vietnam War, as the airline added runs from Saigon to Hong Kong for planeloads of weary young soldiers straight from the battlefields, who were off for five days of R & R, and then flown back to war. Finally, with Operation Babylift—the dramatic evacuation of 2,000 children during the fall of Saigon—the book's special cast of stewardesses unites to play an extraordinary role on the world stage. 538 Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 212359 KB). 650 7 Biography & Autobiography.|2OverDrive 650 7 History.|2OverDrive 650 7 Women's Studies.|2OverDrive 650 17 Nonfiction.|2OverDrive 655 7 Electronic audiobooks.|2local 700 1 Arndt, Andi. 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/5557954 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=fef1ced0- 45e1-4d66-996d-bc91381eed8c&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/0874-1/ %7BFEF1CED0-45E1-4D66-996D-BC91381EED8C%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/0874-1/ %7BFEF1CED0-45E1-4D66-996D-BC91381EED8C%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
