When the Arrow project was cancelled by the Diefenbaker government in 1959, Owen Maynard and over 30 other AVRO engineers , joined NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) in Houston, Texas.
When the government scrapped the Avro "Arrow", much of the equipment associated with the project found its way onto the surplus market.

Although the author's goal is not to second-guess the reasons behind the sudden death of the AVRO Arrow, the fact that such a technologically advanced jetfighter was suddenly scrapped certainly made him reflect on how a collective dream and the fruit of countless man-hours can be brought down by a few individuals with questionable motives.

Dief is remembered for terminating and then purging the Avro Arrow fighter jet project, which Pierre Berton has accurately called one of the greatest acts of legislative vandalism in our country's history.
We carry a wide selection of reference books, from the Avro Arrow Pilots's Operating instruction to books on RCAF/RAF Nose Art and the history of Bomber and Fighter Commands.
The Avro Arrow, the recognizable large, white, delta-winged jet, designed, developed, tested and eventually destroyed in Canada, will always be remembered as the country’s best chance to be at the forefront of the international aerospace industry.

Most Canadians are aware that, for a brief period before the program's cancellation in 1959, the supersonic Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow interceptor made this country a world leader in jet fighter aircraft.
Later, when the Canadian government contracted AVRO to design and build a new supersonic jet fighter, Maynard worked on the design and testing of the AVRO Arrow weapons systems and landing gear.
