18. Dressed Up For Flying
This photo was taken in 1959 and it shows the comical moment that Swedish Airlines stewardess, Birgitta Lindman, was called in to check out a showgirl’s short skirt. This was after being informed that air hostess’ uniforms would also be getting a more modern, shorter overhaul.
Lindman was already a famous face – indeed, her visage had faced many cameras and was featured on the cover of Life magazine in 1958. The cover was a major advertisement move for SAS. She had competed against hostesses around the world to have the honor of being photographed for a special feature.
