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 Pan Am between 1966 and 1975 also had to be between 5a�23" and 5a�29", between 105 and 140 pounds, and under 26 years of age at the time of hire. Cookea�TMs storytelling weaves together the real-life stories of a memorable cast of characters, from small-town girl Lynne Totten, a science major, to Hazel Bowie, one of the few Black stewardesses of the era, as they embrace the liberation of their jet-set life and their role in the Vietnam War.
