Download or read book Jet Set written by William Stadiem and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1958, Pan American World Airways began making regularly scheduled flights between New York and Paris, courtesy of its newly minted wonder jet, the Boeing 707. Almost overnight, the moneyed celebrities of the era made Europe their playground. At the same time, the dream of international travel came true for thousands of ordinary Americans who longed to emulate the “jet set” lifestyle. Bestselling author and Vanity Fair contributor William Stadiem brings that Jet Age dream to life again in the first-ever book about the glamorous decade when Americans took to the skies in massive numbers as never before, with the rich and famous elbowing their way to the front of the line. Dishy anecdotes and finely rendered character sketches re-create the world of luxurious airplanes, exclusive destinations, and beautiful, wealthy trendsetters who turned transatlantic travel into an inalienable right. It was the age of Camelot and “Come Fly with Me,” Grace Kelly at the Prince’s Palace in Monaco, and Mary Quant miniskirts on the streets of Swinging London. Men still wore hats, stewardesses showed plenty of leg, and the beach at Saint-Tropez was just a seven-hour flight away. Jet Set reads like a who’s who of the fabulous and well connected, from the swashbuckling “skycoons” who launched the jet fleet to the playboys, moguls, and financiers who kept it flying. Among the bold-face names on the passenger manifest: Juan Trippe, the Yale-educated WASP with the Spanish-sounding name who parlayed his fraternity contacts into a tiny airmail route that became the world’s largest airline, Pan Am; couturier to the stars Oleg Cassini, the Kennedy administration’s “Secretary of Style,” and his social climbing brother Igor, who became the most powerful gossip columnist in America—then lost it all in one of the juiciest scandals of the century; Temple Fielding, the high-rolling high priest of travel guides, and his budget-conscious rival Arthur Frommer; Conrad Hilton, the New Mexico cowboy who built the most powerful luxury hotel chain on earth; and Mary Wells Lawrence, the queen bee of Madison Avenue whose suggestive ads for Braniff and other airlines brought sex appeal to the skies. Like a superfueled episode of Mad Men, Jet Set evokes a time long gone but still vibrant in American memory. This is a rollicking, sexy romp through the ring-a-ding glory years of air travel, when escape was the ultimate aphrodisiac and the smiles were as wide as the aisles. Praise for Jet Set “Aeronautics history, high times from the 1950s and ’60s, incredibly versatile name-dropping (from Mrs. John Jacob Astor to Christine Keeler of the Profumo scandal) and Sinatra’s ‘Come Fly With Me’ as a kind of theme song [all] connected to the glamorous days of air travel.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times “What a book William Stadium has written. . . . The Kennedys, the Rat Pack, Frank Sinatra, and early financiers like Eddie Gilbert are dealt with in depth. . . . I lived intimately through it all in the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s and I am yet to find a mistake in author Stadiem’s amazing book. Order it now. All the players are here.”—Liz Smith, syndicated columnist “William Stadiem sexes up the glory days of aviation in Jet Set. Fly me!”—Vanity Fair “William Stadiem’s Jet Set takes you where no modern airliner can: to a time . . . when the means of travel was as exotic as the destination, and sometimes more so.”—Town & Country

Download or read book Right Away All at Once written by Greg Brenneman and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert in business turnaround shares his inspiring approach to problem-solving: “A fascinating read” (Mitt Romney). Visionary leader Greg Brenneman believes that true business success and personal fulfillment are two sides of the same coin. The techniques that will grow your business will also help you achieve a rich, purposeful, and integrated life. Here, Brenneman takes what he’s learned from turning around or tuning up many businesses—including Continental Airlines and Burger King—and distills it into a simple, clear, five-step roadmap that anyone can follow. He teaches you how to: *prepare a succinct Go Forward plan *build a fortress balance sheet *grow your sales and profits *choose all-star servant leaders *empower your team For more than thirty years, Brenneman has seen these steps foster dramatic results in a variety of business environments. But he also came to realize that he could apply these same principles to improve his life and build a lasting moral legacy. He found he could make better decisions by carefully taking the most important facets of his life—faith, family, friendship, fitness, and finance—into consideration. Brenneman’s inspiring examples, from both his business and his life, demonstrate the astounding effects these steps can have when you apply them—right away and all at once.
Download or read book Olios of Flight written by Tom Richards and published by Tom Richards. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first three decades of powered flight were to see mankind's wobbly attempts to leave the ground, make war in a new realm, deliver mail, form a new sport, and start regular airline service to commute the general public in a faster, and somewhat safer style than any time in history. The 30 years, roughly from 1910 to 1940, really fall into distinct eras of aviation. The first decade, up to World War I was marked mostly by individuals building and trying new concepts for stability and processes to produce their product for others to buy. Such early aircraft factories gave us names like Wright, Curtiss, and Voisin. WWI saw a quantum leap in innovation; a production of aircraft. At the beginning of the war in 1914, there were only 1,720 licensed pilots worldwide, and certainly less than 700 flyable aircraft in all of Europe. By the end of the war, in 1918, over 200,000 aircraft had been produced in over 100 factories. The 1920s saw government regulations of newly built aircraft. A whole new industry was developing aircraft to transport passengers and mail; first on a small scale and then on a worldwide scale as larger aircraft were built. By the end of the 1920s the new sports of barnstorming, flying circuses, and air racing were coming into their own. These "sporting events" were about taking risks and thrilling crowds by pushing the limits of both the planes and pilots who dared to fly them. The racers demanded faster and faster aircraft by the early 1930s and so the builders and designers were continually refining their product to maximize efficiency and style, to slice through the air with more powerful engines. A French designer, Antoine de Saint Exupery, stated the goal of great design this way: "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." This was surely true of the sleek racers of the Golden Age of Air Racing in the 1930s. The 1920s saw the common man or woman being able to purchase a war-surplus aircraft and start a business for themselves, instead of having to hand-build their own plane. The 1930s saw aircraft being built on assembly lines. These aircraft were now made of light-weight metals instead of wood and fabric. They were generally larger, more powerful, and more complex to maintain. And they cost much more than the average flyer could afford, hence the need to find wealthy sponsorship for any new adventure or record setting attempts These three decades do not fit nicely into ten-year frameworks, but overlap to some degree. By-and-large, there are distinct characteristic in both machines and those who flew them from one decade to another. We mention 1910, and the names Wright, Curtiss, Farman, and Santo Dumont, may come to mind. 1920s may bring memories of Lindbergh and Doolittle, and for the 1930s the names Earhart and Post may well flood your mind. But in those time periods, there were many more flyers we should know about and honor. This book is an effort to highlight some of those long-forgotten aviators, designers, and industry captains of the three decades, because they were unusual people, often with unusual planes!
