Comments

• "Corps, the first American" split, i.e. "Corps. She was the first American"
•  Done

• "the Alaskan Theater and" do we have a link for that?
•  Done

• " of Second Lieutenant" link?
•  Done

• "the Aleutian Islands Campaign of World War II that" is this repeating the "Alaskan Theater" thing? Either way, Campaign should be campaign.
•  Done

• "on one of these medical evacuation missions" -> "on one such evacuations"
•  Done

• "when the plane crashed" -> "when the aircraft on which she was traveling crashed".
•  Done

• "1,250 bed" hyphenate.
•  Done

• Date formats aren't consistent, either DMY or MDY. I'd stick with MDY as it's got strong ties to US English.
•  Done

• "had training in nursing at " -> "trained in nursing at"
•  Done

• "assignment was at the 349th Air Evacuation Group, Bowman Field" maybe "assignment was with the 349th Air Evacuation Group at Bowman Field"?
•  Done

• "Alaskan Theater of Operations" is this the third way of saying the same thing? Be consistent throughout.
•  Done

• "near Naknek, Alaska on" comma after Alaska.
•  Done

• "and she was killed while transporting patients" while transporting patients is unnecessary.
•  Done

• Any more details on the crash?
•  Done

• The lead said it was "accidental", but the main body doesn't reflect that.
•  Done

• "Gardiner was one of a group of six nurses in Alaska during the Aleutian Islands Campaign of World War II during April 1942 to July 1943 that assisted in medical evacuations by plane" think you've already said a lot of this, revise, merge back into the bits that are already covered.
•  Done

• "first Army Nurse Corps' nurse" link corps here.
•  Done

• "who was the first Army Nurse Corps' nurse killed while serving in World War II." previous section you said "was the first American nurse killed in World War II while on military active duty." - these "firsts" need to be expressed in consistent terms and probably only once in the main body of the article.
•  Done

• "1,250 bed" hyphenate.
•  Done

• "received a portrait of Gardiner at its official dedication on July 9, 1944. The portrait was done by Chicago artist Edmund Giesbert" -> "received a portrait of Gardiner, by Chicago artist Edmund Giesbert...., at its official dedication on July 9, 1944."
•  Done

• Ref 10 should be p.
•  Done

• Ref 14 SHOUTING.
•  Done -> You may already know this = "Upper case" and "Lower case" of a typewriter are based off these type letters of a typical eighteenth century printing press.

• ISBNs should be consistently formatted.
•  Done
