Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In 1981, Captain Don McVicar, KC, OBE, published 'Ferry Command' which described his dangerous flying adventures in the service of the Royal Air Force Ferry Command, a secret organization based at Dorval airport, near Montreal, Canada. It was the first of thirteen well-received volumes of his turbulent life in the Golden Age of Aviation. When 'Ferry Command' sold out, its publisher, Airlife in Great Britain, did not print a second edition, so Capt. McVicar divided it into 'Ferry Command Pilot' and 'South Atlantic Safari' adding new material to both, and self-published them in 1990.While 'Ferry Command Pilot' is a tale of the Arctic and brutal flying over the frigid North Atlantic, 'South Atlantic Safari' soars over the warm Caribbean, the jungles of South America, the equatorial South Atlantic, touching down on the burning deserts of Egypt. Capt. McVicar must master the sleek but dangerous B-26 Marauder which had earned the nickname 'Widow Maker' due to its high accident rate. He is charged with delivering the first American-built bomber to the battle front of the RAF in Africa.Capt. McVicar's writing style was very much cherished by aviation enthusiasts from all walks of life, who often remarked that they felt as if they were right there in the cockpit with him, wrestling the temperamental aircraft to keep it from falling from the sky. This edition marks the return of the second half of this classic tale of a secret but vital wartime organization to the world. 'Ferry Command Pilot' was published by Words on Wings Press in June 2015 to commemorate what would have been Capt. McVicar's 100th birthday.The foreword is written by the navigator of that historic B-26 Marauder delivery to Africa, F/L E.E. 'Ted' Biss, RCAF.The addition by the author of little-known histories of three other ferrying organizations--the British Air Transport Auxiliary, Consairways, and Pan American Air Ferries--adds even more historical value to this tale, as does a comprehensive index compiled by the editor, Donna McVicar Kazo, along with a list of all RAFFC aircrew and groundcrew mentioned in the book.Some photographs were supplied by William VanDerKloot, producer/director of 'Flying the Secret Sky, The Story of the RAF Ferry Command' as the tale of his father, Capt. William VanDerKloot's service as Prime Minister Winston Churchill's pilot is interwoven with Capt. McVicar's. Kazo, Donna McVicar (ilustrador).…
