Book Review: |
|
"Sometimes the best historians are those who lived the history they write about. Linda Hutchinson Hieger flew the line for American Airlines as a stewardess and flight attendant for more than 30 years. Not only did she witness the evolutionary growth of one of the world's great airlines, but she knew many of the players. This book is more than another hitory of American, for it conveys the stories of the many talented women and men who flew as cabin crewmembers and then creatively chronicles the fashionable uniforms they sported on the job. Linda Hutchinson Hieger is undoubtedly the foremost expert in the world on the uniforms worn by the stewardesses and flight attendants of American Airlines. With Wings of Silver and Gold is not only a delightful read, it's an invaluable resource as a reference on uniforms." Jeff Johns, Former Associate Director and Chief Curator of the American Airlines C. R. Smith Museum - Currently, Executive Director of the Fort Worth Air & Space Museum Foundation
