“This book is full of revealing anecdotes and is a very well researched and absorbing read.” — Air-Britain Aviation World “A masterly piece of work which, no doubt, will find its place on the bookshelves of aviation enthusiasts.” — Frank Tibbo, author of Charlie Baker George “An impressively well researched and written narrative history.” — Guy Warner, Irish aviation historian and author “An eminently readable book that will appeal to anyone interested in Gander, military aviation, or Newfoundland and Labrador’s contribution to the Second World War.” — Diana Trafford, aviation historian/blogger “Author and historian Darrell Hillier delivers a trenchant and illuminating account of the Ferry Command.” — Joan Sullivan, The Telegram “Hillier does a masterful job of shining a light on the people and the achievements of this long-overlooked organization.” — Gary Hebbard, aviation writer/researcher
