Description

Ann Hood's memoir Fly Girl recounts her experiences as a TWA flight attendant in the late 1970s. At the time, flight attendants were seen as glamorous and sophisticated figures, embodying the golden age of air travel. After completing rigorous training, Hood learned to navigate various aircraft types, handle emergency situations, and maintain composure under pressure. As she flew across the globe, Hood encountered a mix of adventure and unexpected realities. She shared meals with dignitaries, navigated challenging passengers, and found romance on layovers. Through her experiences, Hood began to write, even drafting scenes from her first novel while in flight. This memoir offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of air travel during its heyday, as well as the personal growth and empowerment that came from Hood's time as a flight attendant.
