Zustand: VERY GOOD. Hardcover. Illustrated by Henry E. Vallely Good in brown cloth with orange lettering, illustrated endpapers, usual toning to pages.

Zustand: GOOD. First edition. Another Whitman series that failed to offer any serious competition to the Stratemeyer syndicate, since only one title was published in this series (in fact, was "Peggy Parker" trying to capitalize on Mildred Wirt Benson's "Penny Parker" series?) This book is a bit of an anomaly since on the one hand it has an interesting early feminist viewpoint - the first picture's caption is "Peggy Parker enjoyed working with tools" - but much of it is set in the South, and unfortunately, racist and stereotypical attitudes towards Blacks dominate there. Illustrated by Dorothy Colburn. 248 pp. Good in dark blue covers with orange lettering, no dust jacket (penciled gift inscription dated Christmas 1946.).

Ruby Lorraine Radford (1892-1971) was an American author who wrote and published over 50 books of juvenile mysteries, adventures and biographies and several hundred short stories, magazine serials and plays. Many of her books starred women as central characters, as well as several focusing on Georgia history. Radford completed a teacher's training course and taught in the Augusta public schools from 1912-1920, then completed graduate coursework at Columbia University in 1921. In January 1928, she co-founded the Augusta Authors Club with Constance Lewis and Dr. Lawton Evans. She was named Author of the Year by the Dixie Council of Authors and Journalists in 1969. Illustrator Henry E. Vallely (1881-1950) was perhaps best known for his chiaroscuro technique employed in Big Little Books. He also produced a large volume of work including fashion illustrations for women's magazines, spot illustrations for food periodicals, magazine covers and children's books. When Kitty Carter joined the Canteen Corps she expected to find plenty of hard work and prehaps a little romance; but spies and saboteurs, and German submarines were far from her mind until she happened across the clue of the burning shoe on a bus one day.

Adventure began for Nancy Dale on her way to the Army Nurse Corps basic training school, when she overheard two men speaking German on a crowded Pullman, and it followed her half way around the world to a lonely South Pacific island. The United States Army Nurse Corps (USANC) was formally established by the U.S. Congress in 1901. It is one of the six medical special branches (or "corps") of officers which along with medical enlisted soldiers comprise the Army Medical Department (AMEDD). The ANC is the nursing service for the U.S. Army and provides nursing staff in support of the Department of Defense medical plans. The ANC is composed entirely of Registered Nurses (RNs) and Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN). At the start of the war in December 1941, there were fewer than 1,000 nurses in the Army Nurse Corps,and 700 in the Navy Nurse Corps. All were women. Colonel Flikke's small headquarters in 1942, though it contained only 4 officers and 25 civilians, supervised the vast wartime expansion of nurses, in cooperation with the Red Cross. She only took unmarried women aged 2230 who had their RN training from civilian schools. These nurses were commissioned for a term that lasted the duration of the war plus six months. Due to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, the United States entered the Pacific part of World War II. Along with this military effort was the work of the Flying Tigers in Kunming, China, under Claire Chennault. Nurses were thus needed in China to serve the U.S. Army. These nurses were recruited among the Chinese nurses residing in China, particularly the English-speaking nurses who fled Hong Kong (a British colony) to free China due to the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong on 8 December 1941. The Hong Kong nurses were trained by the Department of Medical Services (directed by Dr. Percy Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke) of the Government of Hong Kong. They took up Nursing positions at the Flying Tigers.
