Flying-boat era
It may be that this thread belongs in Aviation History & Nostalgia, in which case it'll get moved, but for the pictorial book I'm working on, on stewardesses (yes, stews specifically), does anybody know any great stewardessing stories from the flying-boat era, or can point me toward possible sources for such stories?
They don't have to be tales of incredible derring-do, just accounts that can give the flavor of what it was like to work the cabin on such flights, either PanAm or the Empire Boats or anywhere else that stewardesses served.
And of course I'd love to hear from anybody who actually worked aboard the big boats during that era, including stewards.
