A part of aviation history, the Jet Age was the beginning of the turbine propelled airplanes, that were able to make transcontinental and intercontinental flights faster. By the 1960’s, there some pretty amazing things happening in the world.
The period drama, Pan Am, named after the originally founded
as Pan American Airways, the series gives us a sense of what that era was like,
through the eyes of the main characters, a group of young stewardesses, and two
pilots. We see them jet around the world, and experience some pretty incredible
events, such as Kennedy’s speech in Berlin, all the way to the aftermath of his
unfortunate assassination.
Through their traveling, one of the stewardesses, is working
for an agent of the CIA, as a courier. During this time, the Cold War was
making life even more difficult for several people. The Kremlin in Moscow were
very suspicious of the Americans who stayed there, due to the tension of the
geopolitical issues, of The United States and the Soviet Union, in Russia.
Now switching gears, we start tracking the backstory of
Katarina Rostova, a character from The Blacklist, a thriller of gotten pretty
into. Katarina’s father was a member of the KGB, and he had trained his
daughter from a very young age, as an intelligence officer, meaning she
gathered all kinds of knowledge from different sources, until she turned into a
double agent for another group in the story.
