- Used
- Hardcover
(Shrewsbury, Airlife Publishing Ltd, 1985). Illustrated by L.R. Williams. 8vo; original blue boards; pictorial dustwrapper; endpaper maps; pp. vi + 169; black-and-white plates. Very good condition. "At the end of World War Two, Don McVicar set up World Wide Aviation in Montreal and successfully entered the fiercely competitive business of ferrying both new and patched-up aircraft around the world, mostly for the newly emerging national airlines in Europe. Then, while a spectator at the U.S. National Air Races in 1947, an idea was born. Surely a de Havilland Mosquito would have a chance? The author's entertaining and exciting account of how he sought, bought and entered a Mosquito for the Bendix race in 1948 is skilfully interwoven with the story of his ferrying business which reached 15 countries on 4 continents." .
