World-Wide Airways

World-Wide Airways was an airline started in 1947 by Donald McVicar. It played a key role in massive airlift operations for Hollinger Ungava Transport and the DEW LINE in Northern Canada. It also flew livestock and foodstuffs to embargoed Cuba during the 1960s.

Its license was revoked in 1966 due to political reasons. McVicar's publicized fight with the government led him to be featured on the cover of Time Magazine in 1966.
