Carol J. (Williams) Sinclair Flight Attendant Collection
Content Description
The Carol J. (Williams) Sinclair Flight Attendant Collection is a small collection consisting of a few visual and textual items from the Sinclair's career as a stewardess with United Airlines from 1953-1963.
Two black-and-white photographs depict Sinclair in her United Airlines uniform. One is a small, individual head-and-shoulders portrait; the second is an 8x10-inch group portrait of Sinclair's flight attendant school graduation class. Sinclair's work is also documented with her flight log from 1961, showing flights primarily on Douglas DC-8s.
In addition, there is one photograph in the collection from Sinclair's son, Forester Sinclair, who was a fire fighter for the Boeing Company. The black-and-white image depicts him with a Boeing Fire Department fire truck in 1990.
