2 1 Mar. 1944. The transoceanic ferrying
of aircraft for the Eritish was first under-
taken by the Canadian Pacific Railway’s
Air Services Department, under contract
with the British Ministry of Aircraft
Production. The first delivery by the
Air Services Department was completed
on 1 1 November 1940. In the spring of
1y41 it was determined to transfer direct
control of the operation to the Ministry
of Aircraft Production. ATFERO, the
agency of the ministry for this job, ac-
tudly assumed control as early as March
1y41, although the official notice to the
Canadian Pacific of the proposed can-
cellation of that organization’s contract
was not sent until 27 May 1941. The
formal transfer was made on 15 July. On
I August 1941the RAF Ferry Command,
organized in July, in turn took over the
operation from ATFERO.

12. When the Ferrying Command
was established the term “ferrying” was
used in a broad sense to include both
the flight delivery of aircraft and the
operation of a back-and-forth service for
the transportation of cargo and pas-
sengers. In time the term came to mean
only the former type of operation in
