Air Ambulance Medical Orderlies were some of the first Allied personnel to land in Normandy after the invasion, evacuating wounded soldiers back to England and delivering much needed supplies. The brave nurses, who were part of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF), flew on Royal Air Force transport planes that were not marked as medical and were open to German fighter attacks. The WAAF "Flying Nightingales", as they were called by the press, helped rescue an estimated 1,559 casualties from France by the end of June.
