Helen Wells, who also developed the popular Vicki Barr series, wrote the first seven volumes, as well as volumes 17-27. Julie Campbell Tatham, the creator of Trixie Belden, wrote volumes 8-16.The series encouraged young girls to become nurses during WWII, especially reflected in such titles as Cherry Ames, Army Nurse (1944), Cherry Ames, Flight Nurse (1945) and Cherry Ames, Veterans' Nurse (1946).
