EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of remarkable women known as the Flying Nurses of the United States Army Air Force (USaF). These courageous individuals, specially selected and trained, play a vital role in evacuating wounded soldiers from forward areas to base hospitals for emergency treatment. In this snapshot taken on March 17th, 1944, we see these dedicated nurses meticulously preparing their flying kit before embarking on yet another life-saving mission. Equipped with sleeping out tents, sleeping bags, and all necessary supplies for cold weather conditions, they are always ready to face any challenge that comes their way. As part of the US Army's 9th Troop Carrier Command, these brave women fly over enemy territory in Douglas Air Liners to ensure that wounded soldiers receive prompt medical attention. Accompanying each patient throughout the journey, they provide essential care such as blood transfusions, wound dressings, sedatives - whatever is needed to stabilize them until reaching the base hospitals. Despite being subject to military discipline like any other soldier in the US Army, these extraordinary nurses also enjoy camaraderie with their male counterparts. They share mess halls and common rooms with officers and freely mingle with members of the command when stationed at base. This powerful image serves as a timeless reminder of the selflessness and dedication displayed by these Flying Nurses during World War II. Their unwavering commitment to saving lives amidst challenging circumstances is truly awe-inspiring.
