Behind the Smile

23 and yearning for an adventure, Bobbi Wolverton went on to become an international flight attendant in 1965.

It was during the glamorous, golden age of air travel when smoking was permitted, passengers dressed formally and visitors were allowed inside the cockpit during the flight- now unthinkable given the intricacies of modern day travel.

From harrowing landings in bad weather to sexual escapades and even babies being born during a flight; Behind the Smile takes us through real life experiences of working in the airline industry during its most enchanting era.

Black Empress

Bobbi Wolverton and her husband, while on their eighteen-month trip around the world, arrived in the Middle East in 1972 where they worked in Iran for almost four months.

It was during their stay in the in the Muslim country that Bobbi saved a sickly Labrador retriever puppy from what looked like certain death. Despite the genuine show of compassion for the ailing puppy, rescuing it compromised Bobbi’s safety and position with residents and co-workers in Tehran, since dogs are considered impure in the traditional Muslim belief.

Black Empress walks us through true tales of drama and terror with the regular dose of humor from their international journey though Iran, India, and Nepal.
