Was cancelling the program the right decision? Did Canada lose more than it gained? Bursting with information to fill in gaps in the Arrows̉ troubled history, and with an update on the latest search for the scale models launched deliberately into Lake Ontario as part of the test program, The Avro Arrow: For the Record tackles the outstanding questions head on."--
