_The author acknowledges with thanks the generous co-operation of the Eastern Region Stewardess Division of American Airlines and Miss Mary Cody and Miss Joan McGuckin, Supervisors of Stewardesses, for the information given in the preparation of this book._
“That’s why,” Vicki explained to her family, “the Electra is so challenging. Mary Carter warned us stewardesses, while she was retraining us for the Electra, that this beauty flies so fast there’s hardly time to get all our jobs done.”
“You mean it’s a hard assignment, don’t you?” said Ginny. She was fourteen, and Vicki’s younger sister.
Their mother, Betty Barr, said, “I’m sure if I had your job on a jet-prop--Or is it a jet? Which is it, Lewis?”
Professor Barr looked amused. “You know perfectly well. The all-jet without propellers,” he said, “the Boeing 707, is used more for long hauls--nonstop coast to coast, or across oceans. The Electra 188, with jet engines _and_ propellers, is used mainly for intercity travel. I trust I have the facts correct, Victoria.”
He smiled at Vicki who looked so much like him--fair hair, light-blue eyes, the thoughtful Barr gaze--that it was a family joke.
