The Avro Arrow A Picture History
This is An Amazing Story!

Many remember the disappointment and shock at the cancellation of the Canadian Avro.  This is the story.  125 pages of photos and text. $9.95.  An exceptional book.

~ Lawrence Miller, Local Author, Lorimer, 2011. 

"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."
