Produced by AVRO CANADA for the first flight of the fantastic CF-105 Arrow interceptor on March 25, 1958; this film is a nostalgic look on the incredible lead Canada had in aircraft design and production in the post-war years. The Arrow was so advanced that its performance figures and concept were at least 20 to 25 years ahead of all the other countries that were producing such aircraft. Even today, close to 50 years after the Arrow first flew, Canada's front-line fighter, the CF-18 Hornet, can't match the performance of the Mk.I Arrow in top speed (Mach 2.0). There was a Mk.II model with the Canadian Iroquois engines that would have exceeded Mach 2.5, and a high-altitude Mk.III that was predicted to reach Mach 3.0! What an aircraft! Too bad it was cancelled in 1959, because it would have kept the Arrow flying high all the way up to the early 1990's before being replaced by another design. Maybe this was the stuff of dreams, but it actually was done here in Canada in 1958!!! less
