In 1941, the Atlantic Ferry Organization was set up, with civilian pilots flying the aircraft to the UK. The organization was handed over to the Air Ministry, becoming the RAF Ferry Command. More than 9,000 aircraft are ferried across the north Atlantic and, by the end of the war, helped make transatlantic flying a safe and commonplace event.Principal photography for Above and Beyond took place at Gander and St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada. Other locations included Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. A periodaccurate Lockheed Hudson Mk IIIA bomber belonging to the North Atlantic Aviation Museum in Gander, Newfoundland, featured prominently in the filming. A Beech 18S on display at the museum was also used. The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum at Mount Hope, Ontario, with an extensive collection of wartime aircraft, was another prominent filming location utilized in the production. All flying scenes were staged with computergenerated imagery.clarification needed ........
