Vintage Champagne on the Edge of Space: The Supersonic World of a Concorde Stewardess

In the era of Concorde, flying aboard this iconic aircraft was like being part of an elite club. Flying at the edge of space, seeing the curvature of the earth as well as jetting off to exotic locations on private charters were just normal parts of the job for Concorde employees.

Sally Armstrong recounts her experiences as a stewardess flying with the rich and famous, meeting the superstars and royals, and ensuring their memories of flying on these special journeys were as special as they could be.

Reflecting on Concorde’s near 30 years of service, from the heady beginnings to the tragic Air France Crash in 2001, the author also considers the important work of the Save Concorde Group.

This book commemorates a unique era of flying with all the adventure, glamour and glitz that it entailed.
