    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} White Gloves to Washington A Capital Experience by Pat Powers Rothacker Patricia Powers Rothacker. In 1959, Pat Powers was working in a secretarial position at Pepsi-International. She decided to become a stewardess and went to work for Capital Airlines. She flew on DC-3s, DC-4s, Constellations, and Viscounts. In 1960, Pat married Captain Ira Fargotstein, a fighter pilot. Pat retired then but Ira tragically died in a road accident only six months later, in February, 1961. Pat then returned to flying for non-scheduled airlines. While on a charter flight, she met Capt. Ray Poole at the Palace Hotel in Frankfurt. He suggested that Pat call Seaboard's Chief Stewardess, Jan Irwin, about a job, and she did. Pat flew for Seaboard from 1962 to until 1966, when she was furloughed. Pat then got a job managing the travel department at Columbia's Electronic Research Laboratories (which became the Riverside Research Institute). There, she met Donald Rothacker, an engineer-physicist, whom she married. In 1978, they moved to Fairfax, Virginia, where Pat owned and operated a travel agency for eleven years. In 2004, Pat's book about her airline career, White Gloves to Washington , was published. The dust jacket is shown below. In 2010, Pat published her second book, about her liver transplant, A Smile Never Hurts . Pat donated the proceeds to provide a scholarship for a girl from the South Bronx to attend school. Pat is survived by her husband, Donald; by her daughter, Marlene R. Harrison and her husband Michael; and her sisters Loretta Broughal and Margaret Kistinger.

FOREWORD ff Fifty years ago, in 1908, the United States took delivery of its first military aircraft. It could fly at a speed of 44 miles an hour at an altitude of slightly more than 100 feet. 'roday, the United States aircraft industry is building, under Air Force supervision, an aircraft which is designed to travel at speeds approaching 4,000 miles an hour at altitudes above 100 miles. During the last ten years, industry advances in aircraft tech­ nology have tripled speeds, doubled operational altitudes, increased firepower by seven or eight times, and have extended range by a factor of two or three. We are deeply engrossed in bringing the development of the interco ntinental ballistic missile to openttional status. It, in turn, will provide the basic platform for associated development of both unmanned and manned space travelling vehicles. But our great effort to perfect and produce the long-range ballistic missile is not measured in terms of weeks, or even months. Aeronautical superi­ ority is based upon adequate resear ch and development and time for each.
