This film provides an excellent overview of what typical airline travel was like in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Serious attention was given to passenger comfort, good food, excellent service, polite and highly trained stewardesses (flight attendants), pilots, baggage handling crews, airport staff and flight controllers. Allegheny at this time used the IBM/360 based computerized ticket reservation system along with many other airlines. This film will give you a flavor of the past. If you were lucky to fly before 1975, you many remember many of these images. Hope you enjoy this lively journey back into the earlier days of air travel!
