"Relief Wings" was an air rescue ambulance service for disaster relief established in 1940 by aviation pioneer Ruth Nichols. It's purpose was to supply medical information and aid to civilians affected by disasters whether natural or caused by war. Organized in 36 states and run primarily by women, it's slogan was "Humanitarian Service by Air," and when the U.S. entered World War II, it became an adjunct service of the Civil Air Patrol and Nichols became a lieutenant colonel in the CAP.
