Description

The illustrated memoir of essentially the most advanced fighter jet of the 1950s.

At its creation in the mid-1950s, the Avro Arrow was once a fighter jet without equal. This Cold War aircraft was once twenty years ahead of its time. Unfortunately, political realities resulted in the complete termination of the Arrow project. Cancellation of the Arrow referred to as for the destruction of all photos, drawings, models, specifications and tooling. Even the aircraft themselves were disassembled and destroyed.

Avro Arrow is an interesting historical record with an extensive choice of rare and highly prized photos, drawings and diagrams. The use of two hundred images, the book traces the story of the Arrow from its inception to roll out and flight test, including advanced proposals for the development of future version.

Number one sources include:

  • Taped interviews, test pilots’ firsthand impressions, Avro officials and plenty of plant personnel
  • Surviving company records
  • Declassified government documents.

Diagrams offer stunning details such as the North American strategic defense zones and interception tactics proposed for bomber attacks. This book concentrates solely at the vision, design and technical excellence of the airplane itself quite than the politics of its demise.
