Book Review: STORY OF THE AVRO ARROW
Summary: 5 Stars
I always heard of this airplane from a friend of mine, and last year while on a visit to Toronto,I came to know people who worked on the project, and were amazed to see that people from Lebanon knew about this exceptionnal airplane. Thanks to amazon I finally got the book, and believe me I am astonished about the quality and contents of the subject.
The bokk is amazing < I advise fans of the Avro Arrow to buy this book.
Summary of Requiem for a Giant: A.V. Roe Canada and the Avro Arrow
No Canadian company has fuelled as much speculation about its demise as A.V. Roe Canada Limited. When its name was erased from the corporate map in 1962, A.V. Roe's most ambitious undertakings - the Jetliner, the Iroquois engine, and the Arrow - were reduced to scrap.In Requiem for a Giant: A.V. Roe Canada and the Avro Arrow, Palmiro Campagna supplies us with new information to help dispel the myths surrounding the company. With an array of recently declassified documents, Campagna investigates the star projects of A.V. Roe Canada.
Was the C-102 Jetliner technically flawed? Was the Avrocar a failure? Was the cost of the Arrow program spiraling out of control as historians have maintained? These questions and many others are put to rest in Requiem for a Giant.
