Nan Cavanagh
|
 In December, 2004, we received the following correspondence from Nan Bowman Cavanagh, who was a United Airlines stewardess in 1947:
"I was born and raised on a farm 10 miles east of Iowa City. Every Sunday my father would take us to the Iowa City Airport to watch the airplanes, so that is why I wanted to be a stewardess for United." |
| "After becoming a stewardess I was married to a United pilot, and together we flew in and out of Iowa City many times." |
| "Iowa City was known as the 'milk run.' We would take off from Denver, Colorado, where I was based, in a United DC-3 Mainliner. We would then fly to Chicago, making all the stops along the way -- including Iowa City. It took us EIGHT HOURS!" |
| Imagine spending 8 hours flying in an unpressurized propeller-driven airliner? Imagine doing it every day, for years? |
