THE AVRO ARROW
A PICTURE HISTORY ~ "When the magnificent new Avro Arrow fighter jet thundered into the sky over Malton, Ontario on a cold March morning in 1958, Canada became a world leader in the aviation industry. Less than a year later, the Arrow project was dead. What happened?
The story of the Avro Arrow has been told, retold, and analyzed so often it is fading into myth. This book brings the Arrow, and the people who made it, back to life through over 100 historical images cataloguing every step of the Arrow's development ~ and its shocking demise."
~ Local author, Lawrence Miller, James Lorimer & Company Ltd., 2011.

J. D. Salinger (January 1919 ~ January 2010)









Holden Caulfield Watching Phoebe on the carousel ~ "I was so damn happy all of a sudden . I don't know why.It was just that she looked so damn nice, the way she kept going round and round, in her blue coat and all.God, I wish you could have been there." (Paperback edition courtesy of Lawrence Miller.) J. D. Salinger's novel, The Catcher in the Rye, has become an icon for teenage rebellion and adolescent confusion. The theme of the importance of family throughout the book perhaps contributes to the book's lasting attraction.
