Pan American World Airways' first stewardesses

Pan Am caption: "FIRST CLIPPER CUTIES: First Pan American Airways Stewardesses were hired in 1944 to relieve men for war duty. It was the days of flying boats, when stewards often had to row passengers ashore and handle the heavy mooring lines. Trained in Miami, not far from the new Pan Am International Stewardess College, were these seven in the first class. Left to right they are Dorothy Larson from Atlanta; Elsbeth Erhart, Omaha; Lois Taylor, Lancaster, Pa.; Lois Smith, Peoria, Ill.; Dorothy Mills, Staatsburg, N.Y.; Gloria Smith, Detroit; and Doris Stimson, Chicago."
