title: The U.S. flight nurse: an annotated historical bibliography.
abstract: The original concept of the specially trained flight nurse was first enunciated in 1932, but it was not until 1943 that the first group of such nurses graduated from training for U.S. Army air evacuation work in World War II. This is a brief history and extensive annotated bibliography for those who wish to delve further into flight nurse history.
