" McVicar was a skillful and courageous pilot and he and his colleagues completely satisfied the Allied requirement of getting much needed aircraft - the tools of war - to the battle front. Their efforts were a substantial aid to final victory." - Air Commodore Griffith "Taffy" Powell, CBE, RAF. "McVicar describes the people and places well and fits them neatly into the narrative. He is predominantly telling his own story, but as one of the very few accounts written of the Ferry Command in the first person, it is a valuable addition to the overall story of World War II aviation." - The AHS Journal, Canadian Aviation Historical Society. "This book is a labor of love on McVicar's part and one of the most fascinating sections deals with his key role in laying out the flight paths from Dorval to Goose Bay, to Baffin Island, to Greenland, Iceland, and Britain for the delivery of bombers in the early years of the war. For history buffs on wartime flying this is an intriguing volume." - The Montreal Gazette.

Ferry Command was widely acclaimed for its graphic portrayal of war-time flying. The author takes the reader into the cockpit of the Ferry Command Catalina flights between Bermuda and Scotland during the hard winter of 1942/43, 24-hour flights that tested men and machine to the ultimate. No less absorbing is the story of the polar flight between the United Kingdom and Canada's West Coast in a Handley Page Bomber. The crews of RAF Ferry Command were the true pioneers of long range over-ocean flying, and the story of this flying, made without the sophistication of modern avionics, makes gripping reading.
