Airplane Ambulance

The airplane ambulance is used in reaching scenes of accidents occurring at a distance from the flying-field hospitals and in localities difficult to reach quickly with automobile /ambulances.

He is slightly propped up with his head toward the pilot and his foot, and legs extending into the fuselage. The patient is securely strapped in and made quite as comfortable as in a regular ambulance. … Air Pcicket. — A local movement or condition, of the air causing an aeroplane to drop or lose its correct, attitude.
