    "HISTORY OF THE 2nd FERRYING GROUP--FERRYING DIVISION, AIR TRANSPORT COMMAND" is a BIG history of the 2nd Ferrying Group of the ATC which was formed in 1941 and one of seven groups during WWII that ferried all types of aircraft throughout the world, wherever they were needed. One of the first squadrons was the formation of a women pilot's squadron. First known as WAF and later the WASP. Due to a shortage of military pilots, there were also civilian pilots. This is a HUGE history of the group to include MANY little-known missions such as the "Crescent Caravan" which was a powerful lifeline from the U.S. to India and China, and a P-47 flight by Barry Goldwater. Many many mission accounts are here! All the squadrons are here! Group reunions are here. This is a VERY EXTRAORDINARY HISTORY!!    SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS FOR SAMPLE PAGES.
