Exclamation Don McVicar's books

Jhieminga,

Don McVicar wrote a total of five books, all published by Airlife: "Ferry Command" (1981); "North Atlantic Cat" (1983); "A Change of Wings" (1984); "Mosquito Racer" (1985); and "More than a Pilot" (1985). They are very readable (indeed, breezy) narratives of his personal experiences in WW2 and the four years immediately thereafter.

"A Change of Wings" and "More than a Pilot" are fairly easy to find on the secondhand market, at least here in Canada. "Mosquito Racer" is a bit more difficult to track down.
"Ferry Command" and "North Atlantic Cat" are quite rare (possibly because they deal with the war years, and are considered more desireable(?)).

I have an extra copy of "North Atlantic Cat" that you are welcome to have for the cost that I paid for it (US$25 plus shipping). It's in fine condition, with unclipped dustjacket. Please let me know if you'd like to have it.

P.S. You can obtain a copy of "Ferry Command" from Ann Stanislawski at [email protected]
