The Arrow
“THE RIGHT STUFF. THE WRONG TIME.”
First aired 12 January 1997 Drama / Documentary TMDB ↗
The story of the people building the AVRO Arrow, an advanced jet fighter-interceptor designed to defend Canada's vast territory during the Cold War. Though the jet was an engineering marvel, cost over-runs, U.S. government pressure from the military industrial complex, and the election of the Progressive Conservative Diefenbaker government, stopped the jet just as it was getting off the ground.
