Just finished Silver Wings for Vicki; a lovely enchanting little book from an earlier time. I would have loved to read the story when I was a young girl growing up. The contrast from today's YA books is very interesting. I always dreamed about becoming a stewardess and traveling all over the world. Great little gem of a vintage book and of times forever gone.

A throwback from the time where flying was considered glamourous and political correctness was not an issue (imagine ejecting a passenger who weighs too much today!). The writing is surprisingly good for a girls' series from the 1940s.
This first volume in the series covers Vicki Barr's training and early days as a stewardess- with a crime to solve (of course) thrown in for good measure. ( )

A lot like Cherry Ames, Vicki and her friends crack a mystery involving strange passengers on their planes. ( )
