R(No)AF / 45 Group, Transport Command.
The RAF had established its ferry Command (later named Transport
Command) in July 1941 at Dorval Airport in Montreal, Canada. The
task was primarily to freight 2 and 4-engined aircraft from Canada/USA
to theatres of war on a worldwide basis.
In late 1941 four Norwegian pilots formed a unit that in time came
to number about 40 persons. The unit was termed «R(No)AF / 45
Group». Experienced pilots, navigators, wireless operators, mechanics,
instructors, meteorologists and air traffic controllers made up the personnel.
Many pilots and aircrew members served in the unit during
periods of rest from other operational flying.
In the beginning of 1942 the aircraft commonly ferried were the
Hudson, Lodestar and Venturas. The usual route taken was Gander or
Goose Bay, Greenland, Iceland and Prestwick. Some B-24 Liberators
went by Gander and Prestwick to the Far East. B-25 Mitchells, A-20
