Heroic flight nurses of WWII

When I find a new book like this one, Angels on Board, Heroic flight nurses of World War II, written by Nancy Polette, it is like hitting gold!
Sixteen true stories of experiences that these brave women went through have been brought to life very skillfully by this author. She adds conversation to the exciting retelling, and I can verify that she is not exagerating.
I was able to read the story of Lt. Charlotte McFall to Charlotte at her home in Sun City, Arizona. She is 98 now, and kept nodding very expressively while I read her story as told in this book. Her plane crash-landed on a coral runway on Eniwetok Island in the Pacific, and Charlotte was able to escape through the fire. All crew members made it out alive. Additional experiences are told about Charlotte also, and she agreed with every word.
Nancy Polette has been writing children’s stories for years, but recently published two books about WWII nurses that are true in every detail, yet told in an exciting and adventurous way, so that any age reader would enjoy it. Her other recent book, Angel in Fatigues, The Story of Colonel Ruby Bradley, is a biography of one of the brave nurses who survived being imprisoned in the Philippines during the war.
Among other nurses in Angels on Board, is Lt. Jeannette Gleason, who had to parachute over China; Lt. Agnes Jensen, one of 12 nurses who survived a crash-landing behind German lines in Albania; Lt. Reba Whittle, the only flight nurse to be a German POW; and Lt. Elsie Ott, the first U.S. flight nurse.
It is a tribute to these brave women who served during WWII that authors are still writing new books that honor their memories. Several others in this book are among the oral histories in my book, No Time For Fear.
Both of the books by Nancy Polette should be in school libraries, as well as any other place that sells books.
