A strange one, it reads more like a promotional story to become a stewardess than a real book. There were places where some plot and character development, even for a stock kids book, could have happened but it just didn't. The premise is Jane and her friend Sue, having just graduated from nursing school and no work in sight, decide to train as the first stewardess of Federated Airways. The airline wants trained nurses to be the stewardesses. The story is hackneyed, esp. the wildly improbably air bandits and Jane is a cardboard figure. There is also a weird fascination with how much money she earns, which makes it feel even more like a promotional device. Not bad, just weird. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Jane Cameron is a nurse who becomes a flight attendant. She later becomes a licensed pilot and eventually a stunt flier in Hollywood. But when her plane is hijacked by kidnappers, she steals their seaplane and flies away to freedom saving the kidnap victim. Jane Cameron looked breathlessly around the room where seventeen senior nurses of the Good Samaritan hospital at University City sat primly awaiting their diplomas. It was graduation night and Jane was among the seventeen who had completed all of the requirements for a certificate in nurses' training. Delayed half an hour by an emergency case on third floor surgery, Jane had just slipped into the room and taken the remaining chair on the end of the line. Dr. Albert Anthony, trim, energetic young head of the staff, was speaking. Beside him was the little white stack of diplomas, all of them rolled and tied with blue and white ribbon. Doctor Anthony's sharp voice was informing the student nurses that they were about to embark on careers of their own. Jane smiled a bit grimly. She wondered just what career was ahead of her. The girl next in line turned and a fleeting suggestion of a smile hovered about her lips. She was Sue Hawley, friend and companion of Jane through the long, arduous months of training. "Here's hoping he'll tell us where we can get jobs," whispered Sue, the words so close-clipped that it was almost impossible to detect her lips moving. Jane nodded. That was the one big problem facing most of the girls who were graduating from nurses' training at Good Samaritan. As for herself, she had no idea what she would be doing after the following noon when she stepped through the doors of the great hospital.
