Victor Canning: A Delivery of Furies (UK 1972)

From the Publisher:
Keith Marchant is a tough, free-wheeling ex-R.A.F. pilot who makes a precarious living by transporting shady cargoes around the world -- much to the disgust and despair of his long-suffering girl, Drea. Determined to establish himself and Drea in comfort for the rest of their lives, he decides to have one last desperate fling.

The plan is a bold one: he will hi-jack a cargo of six Hawker Sea Fury fighters on the high seas, and deliver them to the sun-drenched Caribbean port of Acaibo, headquarters of Angelo Libertad, the fanatical Guevara-type leader of an island revolution. The reward is 40,000 dollars. But as Marchant becomes caught up in the ruthless intrigue behind the revolution, he realises he is gambling not only for money but for his love for Drea and eventually for his life.

But then Marchant discovered that on Cordillo it had become the custom to play both ends against the middle, no matter how deadly the consequences. There was only one problem-Marchant was the middle...
