Who are the main characters in Come Fly with Me?

Come Fly with Me is inspired by true historical details about Pan Am Airlines in the early 1960s, though the characters are fictional. Camille Di Maio extensively researched by interviewing real Pan Am stewardesses through World Wings, International, a philanthropic organization that granted her access to their archives and personal stories. The novel incorporates authentic details such as Pan Am's policy of firing married stewardesses and the typical 18-month career span, which often ended when stewardesses married passengers.

What inspired Camille Di Maio to write Come Fly with Me?

Camille Di Maio was inspired by a nonfiction book about the jet-set era she discovered years ago while traveling in Austin. The title itself came from the famous Frank Sinatra song and perfectly captured the travel themes and interior journeys of characters escaping their circumstances. Di Maio became particularly fascinated when she learned that Pan Am stewardesses could be fired for being married, which sparked the creation of Judy's character who secretly hides her marital status.

In 1962, Pan American World Airways wasn't just an airline - it was the embodiment of American glamour and possibility. As Frank Sinatra crooned "Come Fly with Me," promising exotic adventures to faraway lands, two women from vastly different worlds prepared to don the coveted blue uniform that would change their lives forever. For Judy, a Pan Am stewardess position represented literal escape from an abusive husband. For Beverly Caldwell, daughter of "Mr. Wall Street," it meant rebellion against the gilded cage of high society expectations. What neither woman anticipated was finding in each other the sister they never had - a friendship that would ultimately prove stronger than death itself.
