Coffee, Tea or Me?

Here's the real low-down on the high-flying stewardess scene by two audaciously outspoken young ladies who lived it and loved it. From the captain who makes like a 707 when he's wooing, to the passenger who mistook the overhead luggage rack for an upper berth; from the names of celebrities who are a pleasure to serve (and some surprising notables on the "bad guy" list), to the categorization of male passengers by nationality and occupation—Spaniards arethe best lovers, actors the most foul-mouthed— this jet-age journal offers a goldmine of anecdotes and outrageous information on the aerial and amorous adventures of the swinging young "stews".
