It was a warm and affectionate term designed to show the soldiers' appreciation for the morale building efforts of the American Red Cross.

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."

Defective squeaker
Style: Go Mango
The squeaker did not work on arrival and this is the 3rd one we have purchased assuming it would last at least a couple months. Very disappointing since it is our dogs most favorite toy ever. The squeaking makes her so happy.

NOT For Aggressive Chewers, Otherwise Great!
Style: I-Squeak Cone
Not for aggressive chewers. My dog had it torn apart in under an hour. It bounced and squeaked great, looked cute, and was a good size. I would consider buying this again for his birthday, because that's when I buy fun, more expensive but less great toys. Otherwise I would not buy again, because of how quickly he had it torn apart.

Super durable enjoyable toy for the Doggo
Style: I-Squeak Cone
I purchased this squeak toy for my Dachshund and he is very destructive. He can destroy a squeak toy like its his only purpose in life but he has had this toy for a few months now and he loves it. We play many hours of fetch with this and he has yet to chew it up or wear out the squeaker. He has not yet been able to chew any holes in it and plays with it for hours. One of the things I like best about it is he loves to hide his toys under furniture and cannot get this particular toy under the couch or entertainment center where he will bark non stop until you retrieve it. He plays with it at home and is perfect for our camping trips and trips to Grandmas as well and still comes back safe and intact.

Durable

Even my monster hasn't been able to chew through these in a few months, and he has destroyed one of the black Kongs in the same time frame.
