“Where’s Dan?”
A 24-year-old WW2 flight nurse asked this question every time she touched down on a new Pacific Island.
A veteran of the Bataan campaign, she had escaped Corregidor Island 2 days before it fell.
Once home, she joined flight nurse training and soon was hopping from one island’s front lines to another’s, sometimes under enemy fire.
What kept her going? She was looking for someone.
