Dear active and retired United flight attendants and members of Clipped Wings,
Thank you for visiting the United Airlines Historical Foundation (UAHF) website. As you were advised by your respective organizations in 2009, the Foundation was seeking your help to acquire missing flight attendant uniform garments and accessories to complete a project, begun in 2007, to donate “extra” uniform items to a number of aviation museums across the United States.
This particular project is coming to a close and, as a result, we are no longer accepting donations. The items we have collected are now in the distribution phase out of our suburban Chicago work location.
However, UAHF is still missing garments from certain time frames to complete its own collection, and encourages you to review the list below. If you have items from the periods listed, they would be most welcome. Upon receipt, you will receive an itemized form to sign and return, as well as one to retain for tax purposes.
The items UAHF would still like to acquire
- Women’s uniforms and accessories from 1930–1970
- Women’s uniforms from Hawaii to Mainland service, 1947–1980s
- Women’s regional uniforms from 1990–1995 and 2006–2008
- Men’s uniforms and accessories from 1972–current
- Men’s uniforms from Hawaii to Mainland service, 1950–1980s
- Men’s regional uniforms from 1990–1995 and 2006–2009
The United Airlines Historical Foundation is extremely grateful for the support we received on the museum donation project and we offer our sincere thanks to all who participated in it.
With appreciation,
The UAHF Uniform Project Team (Chicago)
