Air Canada Flight Attendant Uniforms from 1937 to 2012

TorontoLife, Mar 6, 2012 - Ever wonder what flight attendants and pilots looked like in the 1930s? We were kind of curious, so we took to the Air Canada hangar to check out a uniform retrospective (after we checked out their awesome new airliner). Over the years, Air Canada staff have been dressed like the Jetson family, hip moms who still go to nightclubs and the title character from ’60s–’70s sitcom That Girl. Check out all of the uniforms from 1938 to 2012 in a gallery after the jump.
