Description
This biography of Nelly Diener, the first European flight attendant, looks back to 1934, when civil aviation was still in its infancy and Swissair introduced a pioneering service caring for passengers on board. It captures stories from Diener’s work and the aviation world of the time, as well as the views, customs and prejudices of Swiss society in the 1930s and 1940s. The book also evokes how dramatically air travel has changed, recalling a time when passengers walked across the airport apron to their aircraft, security checks were unknown and a request to visit the cockpit during a flight could still be granted. It presents the atmosphere surrounding the young stewardess, from the early development of commercial aviation to the remarkable flights and experiences that shaped her brief career.
