### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An unexpected surprise between the covers
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018*

The title sort of said to me "fluff" -- who went where, the excesses of the wealthy, when air travel began to explode.  The wonderful airline food, the outfits the stewardesses wore, the meet-ups in-flight, dates made, just sort of an extended "coffee, tea, or me."  The book is NOTHING like that.  It wasn't written by an airheaded gossip.  This is a fascinating read of what the new mode of transportation after WWII did for the entire hospitality industry.  The author delves into how American Express, Diners' Club, the idea of pre-approved hotels, and how it influenced luxury hotel expansion both in this country and abroad (primarily Europe).  But he also presents the fascinating side of Frommer's Europe on $5 a Day and the whole bargain travel industry, how it got started, and where it is today.  I haven't finished it but am at the portion about the finest restaurants in Paris, the people who owned them, and the people who made both the owners and their establishments famous.  I find it hard to put down.  When I have finished it I will amend my review.

    The airplanes, the airlines and the jet setters that flew them and enticed us to fly away with them
  

*by B***O on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2014*

it is a very engaging and entertaining book. Some may find it very gossipy, Or that it lacks details on the history and development of the airplanes that are in use today. However, Stadiem makes it more readable by making a correlation on the development of the airplanes with the rise of the jet setters who took advantage of the rise of jet-powered airplanes and the airlines that bought the jets, the companies that made them, the tycoons behind them and the high society passengers that flew on them. With glamour, it enticed millions of Americans to travel to foreign lands.If you a re looking for pure history of the airplanes and the airlines, skip this. If you are looking for the history of the airplanes, the airlines, the glamour, the jet setters that flew them and their life, then this is one delicious gossipy yarn that is engaging and readable.

    VERY GOOD!
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2017*

I was completely fascinated by the history in this book.  I loved the behind the scenes stories and the way aviation and the rise of screen stars on the move really came together.  The pirate like antics of the men that ran the airplane industry make great reading and the history of stewardesses will make you smile in nostalgia, or barf in disgust, depending on your views.  It is still a fantastic look back at a tremendously changing industry, time and how it affects us today.  Anyone who likes planes, history or just wants a good book, needs to read this!
