Gisela Scofield does not have to imagine this - she lived it.\u003cbr\u003eJoin her, as she takes you by the hand through those days and shares the beginnings of her life story. From running to a Bunker as bombs rained overhead and the world burned,\u003cbr\u003eto her Mother's transformation from being in love with one of Hitler's favorite orchestra leaders and believing the\u003cbr\u003eFührer's rhetoric on all things, to an angry, disillusioned Freedom\u003cbr\u003eFighter when the years of death and destruction dragged on at his delusional insistence.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the true story of the early childhood of a girl who would be destined to fly high herself as one of Pan American's first flight attendants.\u003cbr\u003eGisela Wheeler Scofield was born in 1941 in the beautiful city of Hamburg during some of the darkest days in our history - Hitler's Germany in\u003cbr\u003eWorld War II. She rose like a Phoenix out of those ashes, as did the city of her birth, to fly the world with Pan American Airways.\u003cbr\u003eHer destiny led her to grow up in England as a casualty yet survivor of the war,\u003cbr\u003eand to go on to emigrate to America as a Stewardess when Pan Am came calling.

Gisela has six grandchildren and lives in Texas with her two miniature dachshunds Sandi and Bindi.","brand":"True Perspective Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50086560891120,"sku":"9780997553901","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780997553901","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
