Re: US-UK Ferrying routes

Bombers for the UK were ferried via Canada and Greenland, perhaps Iceland too. Fighters were generally shipped over.

P-38s and P-39s for Torch were flown from the UK to Gibraltar, Spitfires were shipped to Gibraltar. Some P-40s were flown off carriers, most were shipped direct. As were all fighters after Torch.

Bombers flew via Panama and Brazil, across the Atlantic and then across Africa.
