Showgirls Aboard
In the 1950’s, women played a far more stereotypical role in traditional jobs than they do today. As this photo of Swedish air hostess Birgitta Lindman shows, flight attendants had to look a specific way to be hired. Birgitta is seen in the photograph inspecting the outfit of a travelling showgirl, who likely also faced pressure to fit the stereotypical attractive mold. A gentle reminder that the world has come a long way since then.

Prisoner Of War Returns Home
Everyone loves a feel-good story like this one. Picture here is fighter pilot Robert Stirm reunited with his family after six years in captivity in Viet Cong. He was rescued as part of operation “Homecoming” in 1970, and if the expressions on the faces of his family are anything to go by, it was a moment nobody ever forgot. These types of prisoner exchanges also go a long way in resolving conflicts, so they are beneficial in more ways than just making families whole again.
