Male vs Female cabin crews on Flying Boats
One thing BOAC did at the end of WWII when they were short of stewards was to take on about 100 ATC cadets, 15/16 year lads who went flying after some training to augment the cabin service. I have an acquaintance who was on the scheme on Lancastrians at first . I don't think he was on the boats but he saw some of the Boeing 314s at Poole as well as Ensigns at Hurn where he was based.... I'll ask him about the flying-boats and stewardesses in a few days time
