A DANGEROUS, GLAMOROUS JOB brings to life a remarkable story of perseverance, heroism, and survival: the true tale of the American nurses who endured two months in Nazi-occupied Albania, and the fearless Albanian Partisans and Allied intelligence officers who risked all to save them. On a cold morning in war-ravaged Sicily in 1943, flight nurses and medics in the 807th Medical Air Evacuation Squadron boarded a routine flight to the Italian mainland to care for wounded soldiers. En route, their plane became lost in storm clouds looming over the Adriatic Sea, drifted hundreds of miles off-course, and crash-landed in remote, mountainous Albania. Stranded without proper winter clothing or weapons, the nurses had to hike close to hundreds of blizzard-plagued miles in a country torn apart not only by German troops but also by rival bands of pro- and anti-German guerrillas.
