Lucky you! It's a beautiful summer day in June of 1969 and today you're flying from London to Rome in First Class aboard Alitalia's early afternoon DC-8 departure. Normally business doesn't allow you to fly until the end of the business day - which usually means a flight aboard BEA's Trident. BEA's meal service of late has earned it the unfortunate acronym Better Eat Afterwards, so as you settle into your plush recliner in the DC-8's attractive First Class cabin, it is with considerable anticipation that you open the large colorful menu to peruse the meal soon to be enjoyed...
