Leslie Howard - Britmovie

Noticing The Gentle Sex is being aired this weekend leads me to a query. Was the reason/purpose for Leslie Howard's fateful trip to Portugal during WWII ever made known?

He was just doing a promotional tour through Spain & Portugal. There was a quite regular air service between Lisbon and England mainly flown by Dutch pilots.

There have been a few books written about that fatal flight. One by his family and another (that I've got) called "Flight 777: The Mystery of Leslie Howard" by Ian Colvin.
