Description

The Avro Arrow was one of the most innovative supersonic aircraft ever designed, but before it could enter service it was ordered destroyed. This book follows its creation, fanfare and destruction.

In this new revised edition, The Avro Arrow's legacy of Canadian innovation is explored by highlighting the first all Canadian electric car – also designed and built by Avro Canada.
