Historic Flight 666

Wasn't this a flight from Lisbon to the UK during the second world war that was shot down by Luftwaffe interceptors over the Bay of Biscay?
The actor Leslie Howard was one of those lost. It was also rumoured that Winston Churchill was supposed to have been aboard, which might be the reason it was attacked.
There was a book written about it in the in the late 1960's if my memory is correct.

Just a thought!
