A new book, Come Fly With Me: The Rise and Fall of Trans World Airlines, tells the inside story of how a hybrid rail/air transcontinental travel system became a household name as the "Airline of the Stars" before collapsing to the pressures of deregulation and predatory investors. Co-authors Dr. Daniel Rust and Alan Hoffman were at the Missouri History Museum in St. Louis November 9 for a book signing and panel discussion that sold out the book supply and filled the Lee Auditorium with many former TWA and Ozark Airlines employees (Ozark was acquired by TWA in 1986).
Following Dr. Rust's presentation, a panel discussion was held on stage in the Lee Theater. The panel was moderated by Dr. Jody Sowell, President and CEO of the Missouri Historical Society, and included: (L-R) Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, Ozark Airlines employee, TWA executive and current Director of St. Louis-Lambert International Airport; Greg Pochapsky, Captain and Program Manager at Ozark Airlines, TWA and American Airlines; Jerry Castellano, Flight Attendant and instructor for Ozark Airlines and TWA; and Maurice Falls, Flight Attendant and Flight Service Manager for TWA and American Airlines.
