EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable group of women known as the Flying Nurses of the United States Army Air Force (USAF). Selected and trained meticulously, these brave individuals belong to the 9th Troop Carrier Command. Their crucial mission involves flying to forward areas in order to evacuate wounded soldiers back to base hospitals for urgent treatment by specialists. In this snapshot from March 17,1944, we witness these courageous nurses mingling with officers in an airbase lounge. The image exudes a sense of camaraderie and unity among those who serve their country selflessly. These dedicated professionals accompany wounded soldiers on Douglas Air Liners over enemy territory, ensuring that any necessary medical procedures such as blood transfusions or wound care are administered during the journey. Equipped with sleeping tents, sleeping bags, and essential cold weather gear, these extraordinary women face numerous challenges head-on while adhering to military discipline. When stationed at base hospitals, they seamlessly integrate into daily life alongside their male counterparts within the command. Henry How's photograph provides us with a glimpse into history—an era when gender barriers were being shattered by trailblazing women who fearlessly ventured into uncharted territories. This image serves as a testament to the unwavering dedication and invaluable contributions made by these Flying Nurses during World War II.
