Overview: The Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) in Britain provided a remarkable air service during World War II. In the manner of a modern courier company the ATA delivered from the factories and transatlantic arrival points the hundreds of aircraft that were needed each day by the RAF and Royal Navy Air Arm.
ATA personnel were often the parents, brothers and sisters or aunts and uncles of those serving on the front line. Some were World War I veteran pilots, others were experienced volunteers from overseas but many more with little or no flying experience learned to fly fighters and bombers across Britain. Ex-butlers, secretarial staff, hairdressers and retired teachers became planners, aviation electricians, aircraft re-fuelling staff and tow tug operators to fill the many ground-based roles.
In a Moon’s Course revisits through flight simulation 28 of their flights. The background to the ATA, the stories of the flights and the simulation details for each one are included. Re-creations of flights by well-known ATA pilots including Lettice Curtis, Peter Mursell and Hugh Bergel are featured – but so are flights made by others unknown today other than through a fragment of their log book on other web sites..
