--Charles icke"hs.
No names, no rou'tet1, no airpt'rts
and no tinies may be mentioned when
one writes of the growing business of
ferrying American -built planes across
the Altlantic to England. This was
made very plain' by the slight young
man in a. blue serge suit who directs
operations.
This young man has flown the At-
lantic, more times than he can rem-
ember. He has become, indeed, an
Atlantic specialist long before the
war began, wise in. his judgments,
knowledgeable in all branches of the
draft. But he let the ferry pilots
speak for themselves.
These pilots regard their job as a
straight-line and operation. When one
spoke of the risks of itheir job they
became explosive. "Don't put that in
your paper," they demanded, "for it
just is not true. This is the safest
job in the whole war. If you want to
write about risks, we can tell you
about the trip •back we had in a
freighter in convoy. Two ships were
sunk fore and -aft ,of its and a torpedo
went past our bows. The skipper had
been 'sunk three times already and
perhaps that was what saved us. He
thought he was timmune. We have)
never seen an enemy plane or had
a moment of danger except when we
were in a Blitz in England or on the
way back by boat."
They are a cosmopolite commun-
ity, these ferry pilots—British, Can-
adian, .American, French, Dutch, Nor-
wegian and Polish, with the three first
ous. Many of them were airline pilots
before the war experienced men. Some
had been stunt fliers and racers.
Among the Canadians there are a
good many who spent years fire
spotting and patrolling the bush in
Northern Ontario. To all of them this
business of taking an ultra modern
plan across the Atlantic is child's
play. •
The real job, they say, is done by
the weather experts who supply them
with a twenty -Your -hour forecast at
which they' never cease to ' marvel.
"My navigator was pretty.new on his
job," one ,of them said, "so I flew by
the weather chart and was less than
three moles off my course when I hit
the other side. These weather men are
marvels."
It is the pilot, however, who decides
for himself and his crew whether and
when to fly after he gets his, weather
report. He gets no orders. He must
judge for himself in the same manner
as any ship's captain. Such rules of
the ferry service are forming a tra-
dition of responsibility and independ-
ence Such as marks the, men who go
down 'to the sea in ships.
But contrast the freedom ;of the
air -man compared with that of the
ship's captain. There ,lin `oFront of him
lies an area of bad weather—head
winds and clouds with thunder and
lightning. It is that kind of thing that
makes sailors' language what it is.
But the airman does not need to go
plowing through it. "Round or over?"
he .asks himself and takes a look at
the fuel gauge. Now when it is im-
portant to arrive in England with as
'hruch fuel as possible, the decision is
ueually "over," up into a favorable
wind stream. Height is of no account,
although at fourteen, thousand feet
and over mixture of oxygen is essent-
ial; otherwise come "black -outs" and
"a lovely dream feeling," some of them
call it, "like the unreality of that ex-
tra five minutes after the morning
call."
There is another reason to fly high.,_
Up there the stars, for a peep at
which the seaman often has to wait -
night after night, are unshrouded.
The high air is cold and clear, but
the heating system in the,', planes is
so good that although it may be 50
below zero outside, only an extra
gull -over is 'needed to make one com-
fortable in the ship.
These men who cross the Atlantic
never bother about the sea. It is only
when they take off on the ocean
flight or are looking for a land -fall'
on the other side that they. ever see
it. "Once," one of them confided, "I
came down and saw a ship burning.
It was not nice, and I could see no
lifeboats around. Then a plane came
snooping„ up and I thought it might
be just as well not lo risk stopping
to see whether he was a friend or an
enemy. My job is to ferry planes, not
to go looking for trouble."
Except for the one case in which a
ferry pilot was compelled to turn back
and make a force landing in the New-
foundland bush there has never been
a single accident on the crossing.
The service goes as regularly as any
bas almost become routine. "Three
years ago ten thousand people would
have turned nut to see us arrive,"
said one with a grimace, "and now
in England everybody is so used to
our turning up to the exact minute
that there is never any one to greet
us except the landing port official—
not even a man to carry your bag,
everybody is so )busy.
When the service begin the re-
sponsible authorities thought it only
right td ask for insurance rates on
the pilots and crews. With grave con-
cern the insurance companies figured
out some , astronomical Mak charts„
which were too high ,for anybody to
do business. Now- the insurance come
panies can find no takers at any price.
"If you follow regulations, nothing
can go wrong," these pilots boast;
but nothing is left to chance. Every
plane that leaves must carry complete
equipment down to a rubber dinghy,
emergency rations and a five -gallon
water reserve. After they ,are flown
to the Canadian delivery "'point they
are checked and re-chec)ted by thew
assigned crews. The flight to NeW-
foundlaard is' considered as a final
warming -up check,
In .Newfoundland a full load of fuel
is taken abroad. That load -gives' a mal -
gin sufficient for at least another
thousand miles beyond the •distance
from land to land and the aim of ev-
ery pilot is to arrive in England with
enough fuel to permit this American -
built -and -delivered plane to go straight
into action, if need be„–over Berlin,
with fuel brought from America.
The rules say, that flight times
must not be ufientioned, but the
pilots describe their flights as either
one -sandwich or two -sandwich affairs.
That gives a sufficient indication. It,
has been published that return planes
—American -built ships used for ferry-
ing back pilots and occasional special
passengers who are quite content to
sit on the floor (Prince Bernhardt of
Holland was one recently) make the
trip from England to a terminus in
Canada in fourteen hours. By the
clock such a flight takes only eight
hours, but because of time zone diff-
erences the actual flying time is six
hours more.

As Chief Magistrate of the Town of Seaforth I should
like the citizens to join with our Government in an appeal
to every good British subject to co-operate in making
this a week of great national significance and solemnity.
We as good citizens of Canada should recognize the
fact, that too )much cannot be done to make every one
truly conscious of the great'perils of this horrible war, so
that we may develop a higher sense as to what our duties
to our Country are at this time. l •
I am, -
Your obedient servant,
JOHN J. CLUFF,
