Aerial Nurse Corps of America: Lauretta Schimmoler and Leora Stroup Pilot-In Air Evac

The Aerial Nurse Corps of America details the rise and the unfortunate demise of the first Air Ambulance in the U.S., formed by a pilot and a group of nurses in 1936.

If we require air transportation to a hospital, we expect a highly skilled Flight Nurse to assist us. Before 1936 this concept was far from reality. The pilot Lauretta Schimmoler, and nurse-pilot Leora Stroup, sought to change that. A good story with a great ending!
