Condition: Near Fine. A tight and unmarked copy-" On February 20, 1959, Prime Minister John Diefenbaker announced to the House of Commons the cancellation of the CF-105 Arrow. Its development costs at that time were $340 million. The Arrow was to be the world's unsurpassed interceptor aircraft. Yet within two months of the Prime Minister's announcement, six completed aircraft were dismantled and all papers and documents associated with the project were destroyed.

The Arrow was designed to fly at twice the speed of sound and carry the most advanced missile weapons system.
