Peter Pigott tells us that his 20th book would not have been possible "without the help of the Air Canada Pionairs, the Canadian Maple Wings Association and all those cabin crew retirees who contacted me".
"Due out next summer, it is the history of the stewardess/flight attendant profession in North America with a focus on Canada. By tracing the evolution of the stewardesses from nurses to safety experts today, it is the history of feminism in aviation, encompassing their struggles in TCA/Air Canada, CPA, Wardair, Transair, and PWA to be accepted as more than glorified waitresses in the sky".
"Coffee, Tea or .... Feminism and Flight Attendants - A History" is sure to be of interest to our readers.
