Society's premier passenger jet. An era celebrated by the wealthy. Discover how one woman soared among luxury and escaped death. In the early 1950s, Elaine Baker dreamed of an adventurous life traveling the world. As a stewardess for British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), she met movie stars, fell in love with a captain, and visited extravagant destinations across the globe. And when her airline sent her to the USA to publicize commercial air travel, it didn't take long for Elaine to reach celebrity status. Having fallen ill on a trip in the Far East, Elaine gratefully accepted her friend's offer to take over the next leg of her assigned trip. But what should have been a day of rest and relaxation becomes a tragedy mourned by thousands. With news of the devastating crash of Flight 781, Elaine is shattered by the loss of all passengers, including the colleague who fatefully took her place. Written as one woman's look inside a time gone by, Miss Baker reflects on the details leading up to the day that would change her life forever. Set in fascinating locales like Rome, London, and Singapore, Elaine's emotional reminiscence will leave you wanting to continue the journey. "Another Place Another Time" is a compelling memoir of a survivor's narrow miss in one of the world's first commercial jet air disasters. If you like poignant historical events, conquering trauma, and one-of-a-kind adventures, then you'll love Elaine Baker's deeply personal account.
