Title: Flight Officer Gahagan
Post by: Eclipse on December 22, 2008, 05:04:39 AM
Was she anyone special besides a model for CAP/Camel cigarette ads?

I was joking with the SD at a holiday party about "smoking in the airplanes" and mentioned these ads - of course in these planes pictured there really isn't any "in" to the aircraft.

Other than some ad archives and eBay listings, I don't see much info on her.

I think she died of lung cancer back in '69.

I'd fly 200 miles to smoke a German U-Boat.

When I first joined the military, I remember being allowed to smoke at your desk...
