Pat Powers Rothacker has ventured to relate her experiences about the history of air transport during the late 1950’s and the early 1960’s. Pat Powers, (as she was known then,) was there to see it all happening. She has done so in style, combining shrewd observation with delightful humor. She has captured with flair the essence of the life-style and the special status that the cabin crew held during the period when the airline world was still quite small. In this book, she brings vividly to life the trials and tribulations, and also the joys and delights, experienced at Capital Airlines during its best years. Her account of her initial training is an introduction to her charmingly whimsical style that is laced with often impish humor. The reader can enjoy, especially in her well-selected use of hyperbole, some episodes that are hilarious. On the other hand, many are heartwarming, and occasionally some are sad. But Pat’s approach is always positive, and she has the confidence to laugh at herself. She wore her White Gloves to Washington with flair, and in this book, Pat Powers Rothacker invites the reader to laugh along with her.
