Beschreibung
"Tiemeyer takes a completely original approach to a fascinating subject in aviation history and American history. He deftly reconstructs the careers of gay flight attendants and relates them to changes in urban nightlife, the technological and regulatory revolutions in aviation, the cold war backlash against homosexuality, the civil rights movement, feminism, neoliberalism, and the AIDS pandemic. His postmortem on the "patient zero" legend of Gaëtan Dugas is nothing short of a revelation."--David Courtwright, author of Sky as Frontier

"Phil Tiemeyer's terrific book delivers the long, forgotten history of the male flight attendant. That history stretches back to the dawn of commercial aviation, and was characterized by waves of toleration and scorn in which the male steward was repeatedly drawn in and then forced out of the occupation. Through jack-of-all-trades research methods, Tiemeyer has broken the boundaries that separate labor, legal, and LGBT history, and given us a unique vantage on the history of AIDS. Pioneering and important." --Margot Canaday, author of The Straight State: Sexuality and Citizenship in Twentieth Century America

"Plane Queer demonstrates the usefulness of thinking about the treatment of workers seen as "gender-queers" those who refuse to act in the ways expected of individuals of their sex, regardless of their own sexual orientation. In doing so, he expands notions of gender rights, queer rights, and the impact of homophobia on all workers." -Ileen A. DeVault, Professor of Labor History, Cornell University
