"Merchant Airmen" mentions that Captain Stewart was the first British pilot to complete 100 Atlantic crossings in December 1944.
It also recounts a flight he made from Prestwick to Toronto with spares urgently needed by the De Havilland factory producing the Mosquito.

Captain WL "Geordie" Stewart is also mentioned in "Atlantic Bridge" and "Ocean Bridge"
He took part in the second Hudson formation delivery across the Atlantic in November 1940.
