Synopsis
Fasten Your Seat Belts! is the first history of an airline told from the viewpoint of its flight attendants. Through hundreds of interviews, Valerie Lester has encouraged Pan Am's flight attendants to recount their dramatic, tragic, comic, and heroic stories, many of which deserve to take their place in aviation history. She includes accounts of the heroism of cabin crews in such incidents as the 1947 crash in the Syrian desert; the terrorism in Cairo and Rome; the last flight from Saigon; the holocaust at Tenerife; and the siege at Karachi. She also records tales of the first stewards during World War II; Pan Am's brave and resourceful first stewardesses; the first round-the-world flights; the White House Press charters; the advent of jets; Desert Storm; and Pan Am's final, heart-rending flight. Here at last is a book that pays tribute to the crucial role that flight attendants have played in the history of civil aviation.
