==Plot==
In 1940, Canadian weapons of war, including newly manufactured aircraft ordered by the British, have to be delivered to the United Kingdom.〔Davis, Jeffrey. "ATFERO: The Atlantic Ferry Organization." ''Journal of Contemporary History'', Vol. 20, No. 1, January 1985.〕 Lord Beaverbrook, head of the UK Ministry of Aircraft Production, also arranged for the purchase of aircraft from manufacturers in the United States.〔 Aircraft were first transported to Dorval Airport near Montreal and then flown to RCAF Station Gander in Newfoundland for the transatlantic flight. The initial ferry flight of seven Lockheed Hudson bombers from Gander Airport in Newfoundland took place on November 10, 1940.〔
In 1941, the Atlantic Ferry Organization was set up, with civilian pilots flying the aircraft to the UK.〔("World War In the Air: One Way Airline." ) ''Time'', October 20, 1941.〕 The organization was handed over to the Air Ministry, becoming the RAF Ferry Command.〔("Atlantic Ferry." ) ''Flight'', December 4, 1941.〕 More than 9,000 aircraft are ferried across the north Atlantic and, by the end of the war, helped make transatlantic flying a safe and commonplace event.〔("Ferrying Aircraft Overseas." ) ''Juno Beach Centre''.
