US Flight Nurses Wearing Various Uniforms
Description
This image captures the different types of uniforms women serving as nurses in the Army Nurse Corps would have had to wear. The uniforms vary from practical and functional to dressy and impractical, and all were used by hundreds of women in wartime. The nurses pictured here are US Army flight nurses in 1943, and they are modeling their uniforms for the camera.
The uniforms modeled here, from left to right, are the regulation blue winter uniform, winter flying suits, and gray flying suits, one with a skirt and one with slacks.
