RAF Ferry Command deliveries - begin of July 1942
Hi all,
I am trying to establish aircraft delivery (serial + crew) from Canada to the UK which would fit the following timetable: arrived Gander (1 July) - left Gander for Reykjavik (3 July) - left Reykjavik for the UK (4 July) So far I was able to check the book "Ocean Bridge" (not helpful in this particular case) and RCAF Station Gander ORB which stated: 1 July Arrivals: 2 Venturas 2 B-25s 2 Liberators all en route tho the UK Departures: 3 B-25s, 1 Ventura and 3 Liberators for UK 2 Venturas for Iceland (1 returned) 3 July Departures: 3 B-25s and 3 B-17s for UK 1 Ventura for Iceland So my preliminary conclusion is that I am looking for a Ventura, probably of AE or AJ series (?). Is there any source which would help to establish the serial(s) at least? I was thinking also about TNA: AIR 28/653 PRESTWICK 1940 Dec. 1941 Feb. -1945 Dec but I am not sure if the serials of delivered aircraft are stated there. Any help much appreciated. TIA Pavel
