Come fly the world : the jet-age story of the women of Pan Am. - Boston : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2021 - 266 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm

A note from Malala During the golden age of air travel, Pan Am stewardesses had to speak at least two languages, have a college education and be poised to deal with harrowing situation around the world--including the nearly-forgotten 1975 Operation Babylift in Saigon. As fearless as they were, they also had to endure sexism and harassment every day on the job. Their page-turning true stories grab readers' attention from start to finish and grace this book with the kind of adveture that's stranger--and more glamorous--than fiction.
