Jean Duncan __________________________________________________ A Note from Wendy Soward Osborne after Jean’s message to Houston Clipped B’s after hurricane: Thank you so much for reaching out to us. I left Houston in 2015 because of flooding and I could not get back to my home after work. I sold my home and moved to Corpus. But I never imagined the very bad economy there. I left Corpus when I could not buy a home there and came to San Antonio. Things here are much better. I have started a job here that is working nights and it takes me some time to read all of my emails. Just wanted to say, “Thank You, for Caring!” I feel God has guided my steps! Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! Wendy Soward Osborne ____________________________________________________ A Note from Liz Wahlquist: I am greatly grieving the death of my dear husband of 57 years. However, the sisterhood of Clipped B’s has shown me so much support by their many cards, emails, texts, letters, food brought in, and attending Jack’s service that I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Who knew when we were so very young that our friendships formed in training and flights, would stay with us forever. You all are the greatest friends. Thank you one and all. Liz Bailey Wahlquist THE SEVENTH DAY of Braniff Christmas (As shared as a series during the Christmas holidays) The Clipped B's, the association of retired Braniff International Airways hostesses, were all wrapped up in holiday ideas during the Christmas season of December 1958. The eleven year old organization was formed to promote Braniff Airways and its retired and current hostess corp through the presentation of charitable events and other functions. The group held monthly meetings to discuss plans for upcoming events and to visit and reminisce with former coworkers. Christmastime was always an amazing time for the Clipped B's and 1958 was certainly no exception. The group met at the home of Mrs. Martel Ruff located at 14067 Brookridge Drive in Dallas, Texas, to learn the finer techniques of wrapping Christmas gifts by adding flair and panache. A special guest who was very well versed at the fine art of gift wrapping, came to instruct the Clipped B's who were in attendance. Mrs. Virginia Dobbs of Crozier Tech's adult evening class program was the lady of the hour. She taught Clipped B members how to create an array of exciting additions to the otherwise standard wrapping of a Christmas gift. The ladies were taught how to make roses and bells along with other creations from ribbon. All of the members present took part in the lesson and made their own decorations under Mrs. Dobbs' tutelage.

In addition, Braniff achieved the twentieth anniversary of its service to Latin America at the time of this study. This time interval offered an ideal opportunity to appraise the growth, devel- opment and use of Braniff's services, and the contributions made by a single United States firm in the air transpor- tation industry to a specific market. The availability of data and the cooperation of Braniff officials and staff pro- vided an excellent environment in which to obtain the needed statistical information, as well as the personal impressions of individuals who were vitally involved in the development of international routes for Braniff.

  • Jet Age Feminism: Emilio Pucci, Mary Wells, and the Braniff Airways Stewardess of the 1960S†
    History of Global Arms Transfer, 8 (2019), pp. 67-82 Jet Age Feminism: Emilio Pucci, Mary Wells, and the Braniff Airways Stewardess of the 1960s† By PHIL TIEMEYER* This article considers the bold redesign of stewardess uniforms that designer Emilio Pucci undertook at Braniff Airways in 1965. As part of a larger marketing campaign to alleviate customer fears about the generic nature of jet travel, Braniff promised “The End of the Plain Plane” through injections of color, high-end style, and the objectification of stewardesses. The adoption of jet technology thereby significantly impacted women, at a time when the United States was experiencing the rise of a new feminist wave. What this article terms “Jet Age feminism” is quite different from the radical feminism that not only sought parity with men in careers but also demanded an end to the physical objectification of women, contesting the stringent beauty norms placed on women even at work. In contrast, “Jet Age feminism” was inspired by people like ad executive Mary Wells, who masterminded the Braniff campaign, and Cosmopolitan magazine editor Helen Gurley Brown. Braniff’s newly outfitted stewardesses embodied much of these women’s feminist vision: promoting greater public mobility for women without dismantling beauty culture. The end result was a compromised feminism that benefitted wealthy career women like Wells, without freeing Braniff’s stewardesses to attain the same access to life-long careers. Whether for christening new routes or unveiling new aircraft, airport runways have sometimes supplemented their utilitarian purpose with something more festive. But in July 1965 aviation history marked a revolutionary moment on a different kind of runway: a fashion runway assembled in a lavish ballroom of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence, Italy.

Today I want to talk about how a secret soviet project, the MIG-105, looks to have been resurrected by the Sierra Nevada Corporation and NASA. You decide...... MIG-105 and The Dream Chaser The Dream Chaser traces its heritage to the BOR series or uncrewed orbital rocket plane of lifting bodies, which themselves were derived from a 1965 space plane concept, the Soviet MiG-105. The BOR-1 was first tested in 1969, launching to an altitude of 100 km as the Soviets sought to study various heat shields for a winged vehicle. The Soviets continued a series of test flights leading up to the BOR-4 vehicle, and it began flying in 1980. Although they had discarded the BOR concept for their space plane (choosing instead the shuttle-derived Buran orbiter), Soviet engineers continued to use the vehicle as a means to test the Buran’s thermal protection system.
