There's a great scene in Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can when Leonardo DiCaprio's con artist character tries to elude the cops by pretending to be a pilot. As he waltzes through the airport, he enlists the help of some glamorous stewardesses (yes, that's what they were called back then) to camouflage him with their identically glamorous outfits. A lot of the photos in this slideshow hearken back to a time that some call air travel's glory years, when service was still good and passengers weren't herded like cattle.
