Albatross....thanks for the DEW line video...a new one for me. I'm from the generation after McVicar's, so can't help with info, but I have 3* of the 5 books of his Airlife published in the UK (Ferry Command, North Atlantic Cat*, A Change of Wings*,Mosquito Racer* and More than a Pilot).
Mosquito Racer has some of the WWA story of airliner delivery flights.
I think his daughter runs this site listing some more of his books which I'm not familiar with
Ferry Command


He was a great story-teller and the books are most readable...part of the history of Atlantic Flying
Looks like his daughter has republished some of his work?
And wasn't this the first RAF Marauder which he ferried over?]Imperial War Museums[/url]
