The Last Flight of the Arrow - Hardcover

by Daniel Wyatt (Author)

A nerve-shattering technothriller of the Free World's countdown to disaster.

February 20, 1959, the Canadian prime minister stands before the House of Commons to announce that his government has canceled the CF-105 Avro Arrow supersonic fighter-interceptor program. What were the reasons... the real reasons? Were the Americans involved?

In this tale of intrigue, the Russians plan an air strike on North America. Canadian and American Intelligence get wind of it through secret channels. The Arrow is canceled but, with the help of the Americans, the machine is deployed for one last mission: to catch the Russians with evidence of its strike force. While the public mourns the death of the supersonic fighter, the Arrow blasts its way across the Pacific on a vital, long-range, photo-recon mission to save the Free World and avert World War III. Behind the controls is a hand-picked Royal Canadian Air Force pilot. Target-Siberia.
