Title: Cherry Ames, Flight Nurse
Author: Helen Wells
Publisher: Grosset & Dunlap, Publishers, New York
Published: 1945
Binding: Hardcover
Language: English
Number of Pages: 215
Catalogs: Nursing History, Juvenile, World War II
Description: Brown textured paper-covered boards with black text on spine and illustration of Cherry Ames on front board. No dust-jacket. Light wear to edges. Pages are unmarked. Description: The United States is still fighting World War II. Cherry Ames is the central character in a series of 27 mystery novels with hospital settings published by Grosset & Dunlap between 1943 and 1968. Helen Wells (1910-1986) wrote volumes 1–9 and 17–27. In this volume, Cherry Ames is still an Army Nurse, this time aloft, as a flight nurse. Cherry is reunited with her corpsman Bunce, and the two of them are in sole charge of ferrying severely wounded men out of the battlefield and to the nearest Army hospital. Much to Pilot Wade Cooper's chagrin, he has been taken off bomber duty to fly the wounded to safety, until Cherry makes him see otherwise. Off duty, the nurses "adopt" 6-year-old Muriel Grainger, who has known nothing but war in her short life, and whose mother has been killed by the Germans. Her father is often out on mysterious errands that cause some to label him a "spy." Cherry makes it her risky business to find out if this is truth or rumor. From the nursing history collection of Sarah Abrams. Hardcover, good condition. 215 pages, 12mo.
