Book, Lieutenant Anna Scheldorf, A.N.C. Flight Nurse, The Journey of a woman who preserved life in the sky

Between October 1943 and May 2, 1945, in the midst of war, a young American military nurse, Anna M. Scheldorf, boards C-47 transport aircraft to evacuate wounded soldiers from the front lines. She is a Flight Nurse— a nurse of the skies— trained at Bowman Field and endowed with unwavering courage.

Through her story, reconstructed from authentic archival documents, photographs, testimonies, and narrative accounts, this book immerses you in the little-known yet fascinating world of a Flight Nurse’s life.

Accessible to both newcomers and history enthusiasts, this account is at once:

- Biographical, following Anna’s journey and fate as a nurse committed in a world at war

- Historical, retracing the missions of the 807th MAETS during the major stages of the Italian Campaign

- Educational, explaining and illustrating the inner workings of emergency medicine, training, equipment, aircraft, and procedures

A vibrant tribute to these forgotten women who, thanks to their wings, carried into the skies those who could no longer walk on earth.
