The cancellation of the CF-105 Arrow in 1959 holds such a grip on the Canadian imagination that earlier developments in defence procurement remain obscure. Randall Wakelam corrects this oversight - and offers fresh insight on the AVRO saga and contemporary procurement issues - by revealing how cabinet ministers, chiefs of staff, and air marshals negotiated competing pressures to arm the air force, please allies, and save money during a decade when Canada's air force was growing by leaps and bounds. The result was the CF-100 Canuck and the F-86 Sabre, Canada's front-line defensive aircraft in the coldest years of the Cold War.
Colonel (ret'd) Randall Wakelam, PhD, teachesmilitary history and leadership at the Royal Military College of Canadaand is author of The Science of Bombing: Operational Research inRAF Bomber Command. A pilot in his service career, he also workedin aircraft procurement.
