As I got into the hotel lobby, a grenade exploded, shattering wine glass everywhere. An employee shoved me into a hall wardrobe and locked the entranceway. Wanting to taste excursion, Bobbi Wolverton became an international airfare attendant in 1965 at age 23. It had been a far more innocent and gorgeous time of travel, when passengers dressed formally, smoking was permitted, and the captain allowed in-flight visits to the cockpit. But there is another side to her vocation. It had been also hard, sometimes unglamorous, and frequently dangerous work. With this memoir, Bobbi stocks fascinating true stories that shocked her friends and parents. Harrowing landings. Unruly passengers. Sexual escapades. Babies born during airfare. Terrifying shows in war zones. Stories are set in such incredible locales as Vietnam, Japan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, France, Germany, holland, Ireland, Spain, and Egypt. Behind the Laugh will take us over a roller-coaster ride of laughter and episode, providing us a behind-the-scenes look at the joys and heartaches of working in the flight industry during its most gorgeous era.
