Flying the Secret Sky
Human Interest, History - 1x56

FLYING THE SECRET SKY: THE STORY OF RAF FERRY COMMAND tells a story of passionate risk-taking, of young men braving dangerous flights in primitive aircraft.  These "cowboys of the air" are forgotten heroes of the war, who flew without guns and embodied an improvisational spirit that was key to Allied victory.  Their story includes the American civilian chosen to fly Winston Churchill to secret wartime meetings  during the darkest days of WW II.  A story the world never known, until now.
