American service men in England during World War II called American Red Cross girls "Doughnut Dollies." It was a warm and affectionate term designed to show the soldiers' appreciation for the morale-building efforts of the American Red Cross. The Red Cross girls operated "clubmobiles" which were driven to air bases where the girls served fresh doughnuts, hot coffee, and broadcast Big Band music over loud-speakers to welcome airmen as they returned from missions overseas. Red Cross girls also helped establish and operate recreation clubs wherever American service men were stationed. In London, fourteen American Red Cross clubs furnished entertainment, meals, snacks and maintained dormitories for soldiers on leave. This novel is the story of two Red Cross Aero Club directors stationed on air fields where they were instructed to establish recreation clubs. It is a story of their accomplishments, frustrations, romances, and the tragedies they witnessed and experienced. * * * * Helen Airy was raised on a cattle ranch in Northern California. After graduation from the University of California at Berkeley, she was employed for several years as a columnist on the "San Francisco Examiner." At the outbreak of World War II, her restless ways led her to join the American Red Cross personnel in war-time England. Airy served in England in various capacities where she gained an understanding of the tragedy of war. She saw courageous young men lose their lives and witnessed the grief their loss left behind. She came to admire and appreciate the stiff upper-lip courage and the generosity of the English people who opened their doors and their hearts, and shared their meagre provisions with the American and other forces that flooded their country. Airy has always been proud to be called a "Doughnut Dolly."

Asurion coverage was worth every penny!
Bought a window AC in 2020 and was offered Asurion coverage at checkout. Paid $39 for the 4 year plan and never expceted it would be worth the money paid. Honestly, never expected to even use it. That said...the AC failed about 2 years later so I made a claim online. The claim went in but required a call to an Asurion rep (very nice guy on the phone). He asked a few questions then told me the claim was approved. Total time to for the entire process was about 15 mins. I had the choice of having it repaired or a refund check. I asked for the refund. An emailed pre-paid UPS label was recieved a few minites later and the guy said they'd mail me a check when the UPS package was received, so I dropped it off at UPS. Three weeks later I had a check in my hand for $399 (the excact cost I paid for the AC unit 2 years before minus taxes paid). Really easy process and quick time to receive the check. The only thing to note is that if you make a purchase like that (large electronic or home appliance)...keep that box and packaging. Luckily I had it all and just popped it back into the box for shipment. Not sure how I would have dealt with that if I hadn't saved the box. Thank you Asurion, for delivering on your promise of quick and easy extended warranty payment. I'll defintely purchase the plan again with my replacement AC!

Clean air
I bought it to clean the air in the house took a few days to get it linked to my phone but finally got it working. It’s a little complicated because I didn’t know how to set it but getting better at it. I think it’s a good product.
