I knew a few other guys that were ferry pilots during the war-somehow they weren't selected for military pilot training but somehow were flyers--------It was shocking to find out that they were expected (and did) make the first take off full power test flight of the aircraft and if successful continued the flight with the first landing coming at the destination point------don't know how many times that would be accurate but does seem that in those days and level of production and deployment that it was real-------
