Help Required

[Flyin Bull]

Read a book several years ago about a Canadian WWII ferry pilot and his exploits whilst flying the Atlantic. Can't for the life of me remember the title or author.

Can anyone recall this tome and help me identify the book.

Cheers

I'd put a tenner on the author being Don McVicar. He wrote a few books about his time ferrying over the North Atlantic. AbeBooks should have more info.
