20 Feb 1959 Jahr - The cancellation of the Avro Arrow by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker

Beschreibung:

Though the Arrow was widely praised for its power and beauty, the program was cancelled in February 1959 by the government of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. This resulted in the loss of at least 25,000 direct and indirect jobs. Many believe that the Arrow's cancellation was a betrayal of Canada's aerospace industry.
