Artist Unknown
This is from 1960 and it was published by Kozy Books, one of the leading “adult” publishers of the time. I really like this cover so it’s unfortunate that the identity of the artist is not known.

This book was first published in 1967 and was sold as being the lusty memoirs of two flight attendants named Trudy Baker and Rachel Jones. This book proved to be successful enough that it led to three more books about Trudy and Rachel. The books were actually written by Donald Bain, an airline pr man-turned-author who later would write the Murder, She Wrote Books, sharing the byline with Jessica Fletcher.

“Adults only!” I guess that’s what they call breaking training. I probably shouldn’t tell this story but, back in high school, the coach of our football team had all of the cheerleaders gather in the gym and then gave us a lecture about how he didn’t want any of his boys “breaking training” and how it was on all of us to make sure we didn’t offer them the temptation or the opportunity. We all pledged to put the team first but we should have told him to get out of there with all of his sexist crap. Our football team sucked anyways.
