The book tells the story of ferrying three
B-17s from Tucson, Arizona, to Gatwick, England, in late September and
early October 1961. The three B-17s were needed in England for use in
the filming of The War Lover with actors Steve McQueen and
Robert Wagner. The late author Martin Caidin flew as the copilot in the
lead B-17 and his recollections of the epic journey gelled into this
1964 book.
After making emergency landings (numerous
engine fires and other problems) at Lisbon, Portugal, the entire B-17
entourage is arrested by the secret police for gun running and Caidin
relates the incident like an adventure novel.
The book is a legend in B-17 literature and should be read if only for the experience. Enjoy.
